Duncan has been pioneering the concept of emotional and behavioural application into design thinking for over 5 years. His epiphany began with an intensive immersion into applied game mechanics which progressed to his partnership with the likes of Bristol Uni's Experimental Psychology Dept and the National Physical Laboratory.
