Cultivate the practices &
community of experience designers AS THEY transform
the world
The Odyssey Works Foundation cultivates an empathetic vision for the field of experience design, transforming the world through a prism of perspectives.
A revolutionary way of designing focused on the experience of the audience
It is a design methodology in which the final product is the experience of the user or the audience rather than the thing that is created. It has the power to transform any art or design practice that involves humans.
