Empathy Map
SAYS THINKS
USER
DOES FEELS
To create an Empathy Map about a user, first, draw the grid. Secondly, add the observations in the respective quadrants.
These observations can be written directly in the quadrant, or one sticky note per observation can be added to each
quadrant. Let’s see an example, as given below.

As the name suggests, Empathy Maps simply help us build empathy with our end users. When based on real data and
when combined with other mapping methods, they can:
Remove bias from our designs and align the team on a single, shared understanding of the user.
Discover weaknesses in our research.
Uncover user needs that the user themselves may not even be aware of.
Understand what drives users’ behaviours.
Guide us towards meaningful innovation.
