Empathy Map Canvas by Sampriti Jain
The Empathy Map fosters empathy within businesses by encouraging them to step into their customers' shoes and gain a deeper understanding of their thoughts, feelings, and perceptions.
This heightened empathy guides the development of customer-centric solutions, leading to improved products, services, and marketing strategies that resonate with customers, strengthen relationships, and foster long-term loyalty.
Why use this canvas?
The Empathy Map is a simple tool that allows businesses to get a better understanding of how users perceive the experience from a variety of senses, and how these perceptions lead to pain points and gain points. This allows businesses to build empathy for users and proceed to solutioning with a user-centered approach.
Tip: create empathy maps for each persona you are designing for, as their perceptions and experiences will vary.
