This paper focuses on the formal structure of some design theories of product experience in order to highlight their fundamental, if largely implicit, assumptions. Even though building on different perspectives and with different focuses of interest, many authors address the theme of experience in the light of a shared conceptual structure. The three-level schema, on which they agree, mirrors the traditional philosophical distinction between primary, secondary and tertiary qualities. I will argue that the reason for this similarity lies in the acceptance of a shared paradigm, that of object-subject dualism. This fundamental world-view creates an unbridgeable separation between the material structure of an artefact and its meanings, hindering the attempt towards a true understanding of experience. The adoption of a pragmatist approach, which is based on different fundamental assumptions, leads to frameworks that truly do justice to the complex, dynamic and situated nature of experience.

The paper proposes a creative research strategy combining co-creation and follow-up interviews to operationalise nostalgia effectively. The author suggests that employing co-creation to gain an in-depth structured understanding of the users' thinking early in the design process can drive meaningful and value-driven innovation. To establish this methodological recommendation, the author employed an example of Mumbai's street foods as a cultural artefact and examined consumption, production, and distribution practices by comparing the cities of Mumbai, India, and Phoenix, US. A rigorous qualitative analysis and overall research strategy and approach emphasise the significance of focusing on the cultural networks of an artefact in design research. The research concludes that co-creation is a powerful technique to explore difficult-to-observe concepts like trust, nostalgia, and social anxiety. It can deliver impactful insights to build user-centric experiences, products, and services when implemented well.

The job market in UX design has been growing in Brazil over the last decade, occupied by professionals from different backgrounds, mainly from areas of digital product design, interaction and information architecture. The use of methods, techniques and design tools is part of the daily life of these professionals. From in-depth interviews with seven designers living in the city of São Paulo (Brazil), this work sought to identify the main techniques currently adopted by designers who work focused on the UX and whether such procedures are regularly revised, adapted or replaced. As a result, we present a list containing the ten most used techniques, organised in phases corresponding to the stages proposed in the Double Diamond: Discover (In-depth Interview, Online Survey, Benchmark); Define (User Journey, Canvas); Develop (Internal Co-creation, Prototyping, Design Critique); and Deliver (Wizard of Oz, Usability Test).
