Products shape our daily lives – but too often, they’re designed for performance rather than people. In this interactive kick-off session, we launch the new IPPA Circle on Positive Design, Technology & Innovation. Together, we explore how principles from Positive Psychology can inform the design of technologies, services, and systems that truly support human flourishing. Participants will share best practices, identify opportunities, and co-create the foundation for a community playbook. Whether you’re a researcher, designer, product lead, or simply curious – this circle is open to all who want to build a better future through the lens of wellbeing science.
Three key takeaways from this meeting:
- Positive Design matters. We need products that don’t just work – but help people thrive.
- Shared practice is powerful. Real change comes from exchanging tools, stories, and use cases.
- This is just the beginning. We’re building a collaborative playbook – together.
