What is Empathy Map?

An empathy map builds shared team understanding of a user by capturing what they say, think, do, and feel — turning scattered research into one clear picture.

How to read your result

  • Says: direct quotes you've heard from them.
  • Thinks: beliefs and worries they may not voice.
  • Does: observable actions and behaviours.
  • Feels: emotions — pair with pains and gains for the full picture.
