CXD Canvas

Design
Meaningful
Experiences

The spatial canvas for designing immersive experiences that shape states and cultivate lasting traits.

Framing

Choose what you're framing

Structure the thinking before you touch the canvas. A guided framework that turns intent into a design you can actually build.

The methodology adapts its language to your practice — same backbone, different lens.

Intent

Intention Core

Name the project, its core concept, and the one message everything radiates from.

Objectives

Desired Change

Define the transformation you are designing for — the insights, feelings, states and knowledge participants should gain.

Audience

Human Context

Understand who is arriving: their needs, their desires, and the role they will play in the experience.

Meaning

World · Story · Magic

Build the world the experience takes place in, the story that carries people through it, and the mechanism that makes the change happen.

Structure

Reality Planes · Sensory Domains · Presence Types

Choose which realities, senses and kinds of presence carry the experience — physical to virtual, visual to haptic, mental to embodied.

Transformation

State Mapping · Trait Mapping

Map the transient states you will design for in the moment, and the lasting traits people carry home afterwards.

Finish and your answers become a living canvas — or let the AI Composer pick the template that fits.

Infinite Canvas

Everything you can place

This is the real toolbar from the canvas. Hover any tool to see what it brings.

Cards

Notes, tasks and documents

Rich note cards with titles and formatted bodies, task cards with subtasks and due dates that flow straight into your Plan, or compact document cards for long-form writing.

Infinite Canvas · Notes & Tasks

Design Spatially

An unlimited workspace with notes, tasks, connectors, boards, and nested containers. Drag, connect, and organize ideas in a spatial environment.

Hypercube Map

Reality Planes
The world the experience inhabits: physical, virtual, augmented, mixed, generative, biological, or cognitive.

Flat tools produce flat experiences.

This tool gives experience design dimensional intelligence.

Experiences are layered. They happen on more than one surface of reality at once. They activate more than one sense. They shift more than one kind of presence.

That's why we use a higher-dimensional geometry for experience design: the Hypercube.

Six faces. Six dimensions. One object you can rotate, tag, and align every part of your experience to.

Design From Core Outward

Plan View

Five ways to plan

The same tasks, five perspectives. Every view writes back to the element it came from on the canvas.

Kanban

Drag tasks between status columns. The board updates the canvas element behind every card.

Gantt

Timeline bars with dependencies. Drag to reschedule and watch the chain shift with it.

Calendar

Month view of everything due, so deadlines sit in the context of real weeks.

Table

Sort, group and bulk-edit. The fastest way to triage a long backlog.

Versions

Milestones with OKRs and graduation criteria — ship v1 when the key results say so.

Sync to your calendar

Subscribe to your plan from Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook. Deadlines land in the calendar you already live in, and stay up to date automatically.

Plan View · Plan your production in multiple views

From Vision to Execution

Transform your experience design into actionable production plans with Kanban boards, Gantt timelines, calendar views, and version milestones.

Collaboration

Collaboration · Share, Invite & Collaborate in realtime

Create Together

Work with your team in real-time. See live cursors, share feedback, and co-create experiences seamlessly across the canvas.
