Welcome to another episode of This is HCD. We chatted with Loren Baxter, a product designer at Felt, about their innovative mapping software. Felt aims to make map-making accessible to everyone, moving beyond just GIS experts. Loren shared how Felt simplifies the process of creating maps, making it easy for users to handle geospatial data and collaborate seamlessly.

We discussed Felt's impactful role in disaster response and humanitarian efforts, showcasing how accessible mapping can make a real difference. Loren also explained the challenges government organisations face with specialised mapping and how Felt addresses these issues.

We delved into the exciting potential of AI in enhancing mapping experiences and the design challenges of creating a product for both novices and experts. Loren highlighted Felt's free option for personal use, emphasising their commitment to accessibility.

Overall, Felt is making significant strides in democratising map-making, and it was inspiring to hear about their journey and vision for the future.
