When Psychology Met User Experience (Redux)
Chris Atherton used to be a psychologist, but kept tripping over user experience and usability issues. After working at Skype and then as a freelance UX consultant, she has now reversed her fortunes, constantly tripping over psychology in her role as a user experience architect at Numiko in Leeds. In this talk, Chris will talk about some of the projects she’s worked on and give some practical demonstrations of how psychology just won’t go away. Expect hand-drawn illustrations, activities, and possibly puns. Find her on twitter @finiteattention
