About us
Behavioral Economics, Behavioral Design, Gamification, Psychology... We explore anything that allows us to make large-scale, positive impact on human behavior. We discuss the emerging efforts of many industries to help people improve their behavior through things like products, services, programs, policy or other experiences.
Building tools and experiences is not enough anymore. We need to take into account the quirky psychology of the human brain.
We cover both:
• Designing explicitly to improve human behaviors (exercise, diet, budgeting, volunteering)
• As well as improving overall engagement & outcomes for any product, service, or program, or policy.
We touch many different subjects: persuasive technology, choice architecture, emotional design, cognitive design, positive psychology, marketing, gameful design, game thinking, copywriting, funnel-optimization, social work, persuasive psychology, behaviorism, cognitive behavioral therapy and many other related topics.
Our methods include presentations, discussions, guest speakers, hack-a-thons, joint projects, and more.
Our founder, Robin Krieglstein, is a pioneer in designing for behavior change with 2 decades in the field. He's CEO of Live Neuron Labs, which has consulted a dozen+ Fortune 500's and large non-profits on large-scale behavior change initiatives. He was a guest researcher with the Stanford Behavior Design Lab with Dr. BJ Fogg. He founded the first gamified, goal-achievement social network and Facebook App, founded the Design Group at LeapFrog toys. He is also an officer of the International Action Design Network.

Do the thing! with author Erin Laverone
Capital Factory, 701 Brazos St, Austin, TX, USWhy do people struggle to follow through on what they know they should do—and what actually helps them change?
In this talk, Erin Laverone—habit coach, behavioral science educator, and co-founder of The Habit Coach Professionals—shares the behind-the-scenes journey of writing Do The Thing, and the real-world insights that shaped it. From the messy, nonlinear writing process to the distilled frameworks inside the book, this session bridges theory and application for anyone working to influence human behavior.
You’ll explore a practical breakdown of the Habit Loop, and walk through a Behavior Change Field Guide designed to help coaches, product builders, and behavior designers move from insight to implementation.
Whether you're designing for behavior change or simply trying to better understand it, this talk will leave you with actionable tools—and a sharper lens on why behavior is so hard to change in the first place.
Bring your questions—there will be time for Q&A.
