We are thrilled to introduce our next speaker – Jon Yablonski. Jon is the author of the book The Laws of UX and is an advocate for using psychology to design better products and services.
The talk
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.
