What is an Empathy Map?
An empathy map is a collaborative visualization tool used in Design Thinking to articulate what a team knows about a specific type of user. It goes beyond traditional demographics by synthesizing qualitative research into four core dimensions: what the user says, does, thinks, and feels. By centralizing these behavioral observations and emotional drivers, teams can identify latent pain points and motivations that aren't always obvious on the surface.
