Inclusive Personas

What is this for?

This tool will help you put yourself in the shoes of your customers.

Better understanding your customers and their values will give you insights into improving your products or services to elevate their experience

 

This persona template is a little different from others you might find. Not including a picture, age, name, or gender is a deliberate choice to make persona’s more inclusive. By oversimplifying the complexity of a group of individuals, most persona templates create stereotypes instead of useful customer archetypes.

With this template, we’re challenging that practice by focusing on users as real people.

Try it with your team!
