When most people hear the term UX (User Experience), they immediately have visions of websites or mobile apps running through their head.  In truth, it’s a concept that can be applied to anything from a street lamp to the dishwasher in your kitchen.  User experience encompasses all aspects of the end-user’s interaction with a company, its services, and its products.  In fact some of the laws on the website have been around since the 1930’s.

Feng Shui:  The Earliest UX

You could trace the beginnings of UX to 4000 BC!  Feng Shui–the ancient Chinese art of spatial arrangement–is all about placing objects in a space. The goal of Feng Shui (translated as “wind and water”) is to maximize the “chi” a.k.a. the flow of energy in a room, building, or even an entire city.

Does your brand have a scientific method to developing the best UX?  If not, you now have something to guide you along.
