Demystifying UX Through Human-Centered Design

Join us on a journey to understand the value of building products and services centered around people. This talk will focus on understanding human capabilities and limitations and applying that knowledge to build easy to use and engaging products. Topics will range from many disciplines such as psychology, anthropometry, physiology, statistics, physics, and behavioral economics. We'll also discuss how to apply UX principles and best practices at various phases of the digital product development lifecycle.
