Personas, journey maps, and architecture diagrams were never the goal. They’re props in a bigger story.
In this episode, we explore what it really means to move beyond UX deliverables and start building the modeled worlds that make design decisions clear, believable, and scalable.
We talk about why personas fell out of favor, what worldbuilding looks like in practice, and how tools like journey maps, information architecture, and service blueprints become part of a single living system that guides smarter products.
