    Abstract

    User centred design is a widely acknowledged practice. Much attention has been put into methods, tools, processes on how to collect information, insights and stories from users. Currently, more and more effort is invested into engaging various stakeholders in collaborative
    design efforts and nurturing an attitude of human centredness as a strategy. This attitude addresses
    design empathy, which is the ability of trying to step into another person’s shoes and looking at the
    world from that perspective The objective of this paper is to illustrate and discuss different kind of
    formats that can be used to communicate representations of user study/field findings and insights
    in a way that can be open ended for new interpretations and allow and inspire personal insights.
    The paper describes several examples in which the issue has been addressed.
