Laws of UX: Using Psychology to Build Better Products and Services

An understanding of psychology—specifically the psychology behind how users behave and interact with digital interfaces—is perhaps the single most valuable non-design skill a designer can have. The most elegant design can fail if it forces users to conform to the design rather than working within the “blueprint” of how humans perceive and process the world around them. This talk dives into how designers can apply key principles from psychology to build products and experiences that are more intuitive and human-centered. The audience will learn which psychology concepts are most useful for designers, a framework for applying these principles to their own work and the ethical implications of doing so.
