define Delight
What is Delight? How do we experience it?
This first act lays the foundation for the entire exploration.
We start by identifying and mapping the core components that make an experience delightful; those emotional structures, interactions, and intentions that elevate a moment beyond the expected.
It’s a process of naming and framing. By recognizing what Delight looks and feels like, we begin to make it observable, shareable, and eventually, designable.
