Step into the streets of downtown Iloilo City and rediscover everyday spaces through the lens of User Experience (UX).

The UX Photo Safari Walk 🗺️ is a guided, hands-on exploration where participants capture moments of how people interact with the city, its sidewalks, signage, transport, public spaces, and systems. Whether you’re a designer or simply curious, this event invites you to observe like a problem-solver and storyteller.

👉 As we walk, you’ll learn to spot small but meaningful details:

  • Where do people hesitate, struggle, or get confused?

  • What makes certain spaces feel intuitive, safe, or welcoming?

  • How does the environment shape behavior—good or bad?

Using just your phone camera, you’ll document real-life “UX moments”—from poorly placed signs to beautifully designed public experiences. Each photo becomes a starting point for discussion: What’s happening? Why does it matter? How could it be improved?

👉 By the end of the walk, participants will:

  • Build a beginner-friendly understanding of UX through real-world observation

  • Develop empathy for everyday users of the city

  • Identify opportunities to improve urban experiences in simple, practical ways

  • Share insights and ideas that could inspire better design for the community

This is not about taking perfect photos—it’s about seeing differently. Because good design starts with noticing.
