Get Your Free Template for “Empathy Map”

Sample of Empathy Map template

This template provides detailed steps to creating empathy maps. Empathy maps allow us to sum up our learning from engagements with people in the field of design research. The map provides four major areas in which to focus our attention on, thus providing an overview of a person’s experience. Empathy maps are also great as a background for the construction of the personas that you would often want to create later.
