UX Designer Marissa Epstein *really* loves learning what makes people tick. Traditional psych studies can show us a lot about our users and the weird flaws that come with being human. It’s not our fault that we’re emotional, impulsive, forgetful, and hard-wired to take the easy way out. But it is our responsibility to adapt to these shortcomings as interaction designers. In this session, Marissa will use fundamental principles of cognitive and behavioral psychology to show you how humans think, behave, and experience the world. And she’ll probably rant a little.]]>

By now, you probably already know the importance of user research, and better understanding your users' needs and tasks. But it's also important to dig deeper, into the psychology of what motivates them, and understand how humans really behave and think. Leave off those rose-colored glasses and see how users actually perceive an experience. In reality, humans have limited memory and focus; we’re swayed by emotion more than we'd care to admit. Carefully considering every single thing in our lives would be far too overwhelming, so humans often revert to using their more primitive fight-or-flight "lizard brains" to make decisions quickly.]]>

Think about that great idea you have, for a product or company, that you haven’t built yet. If you have trouble making progress, maybe a hackathon is what you need. Learn about how you can (and why you should) harness these fast-paced, competitive events to push forward both your ideas and yourself. Marissa shares her experiences from past hackathons, and what you should know before attending a hackathon of your own.]]>
