Cole Armstrong

We all understand the need to better understand our users when designing new products, experiences and messages, but are we, as designers, missing an opportunity sitting in plain sight?

This recording of Lunch n' Learn features Cole Armstrong, Managing Director of behavioural strategy agency NeuroSpot.  Cole gave us a quick intro to the world of behavioural science and how it can be applied to support design initiatives that really make a difference by driving actual behaviour.  Drawing from examples around the world, he showed how a deeper understanding of human psychology has resulted in great outcomes.  He also showed where it prevented failure, pointing out some of the design opportunities that we, as designers, could be overlooking.
