The Principles of UX Choreography

The Principles of UX Choreography is a new paradigm developed by Rebecca Ussai of R/GA and Legendary Animator, Glen Keane. Influenced by Disney’s 12 Principles of Animation and the most important communication points of user experience design, UX Choreography helps designers think about how to design with motion in order to craft experiences that are more intuitive, realistic, emotional, and enjoyable. Together, Rebecca and Glen will illustrate these principles and help the audience find a deeper story in all of their work.
