A workshop on how to use psychology to improve your website, app and design process.


A practical, hands on way to understand how the human brain works and apply that knowledge to user experience and product design. Learn the psychological principles behind how our brain makes sense of the world and apply that to product and user interface design.

What you’ll learn

Through a series of fun, practical exercises you’ll learn:

  • Psychology and interaction design. How to evaluate and design interactions such as onboarding, search, navigation and eCommerce using psychology.
  • Psychology and user experience. Evaluating and improving digital products based on psychology. How humans perceive and understand the world around them and how to build your product around that framework.
  • Psychology and the dark arts. Persuasive design, cognitive biases and other brain hacks. Do they really work and how to apply them in product design.

Joe is a a trained, experienced teacher so expect to be sketching, designing and applying the psychology from the very start of the workshop.

After the workshop you’ll be able to:

  • Design products, apps and websites that match how people think and behave
  • Find, understand, evaluate and apply psychology theory to digital product design
