»The broader one’s understanding of the human experience is, the better designs we will have.« – Steve Jobs


How do we want to live and work? How do we want to interact with others and play an active role in society? Will technologies deliver on their promise to simplify our lives, advance humanity and enable greater participation?

The added value of products, processes and services is measured by whether they are experienced positively by a wide variety of people in changing situations. The more complex our systems and technologies become, the more important are solutions that support us in everyday life, strengthen our capabilities – and give us pleasure.

The IDZ UX Design Awards competition strengthens the recognition of people-centered design and promotes outstanding experience solutions from around the world.

IDZ workshops, trainings and ideation sessions provide access to knowledge and expertise in the field of people-centered design – and through agency referral services, IDZ enables collaboration opportunities with a broad professional design network.
