Design for Cognitive Bias

Our users have biases and so do we. My best-selling book, Design for Cognitive Bias, explores how design and content strategy can help keep bias at bay—or use it for good.

This essential book will fundamentally change the way you think about design—and about your own mind.

Need a speaker for your next event? I’ve given presentations at TEDNYC, SXSW, An Event Apart, UX London, UX Days Tokyo, Content Marketing World, Wharton Web Conference and many, many more.

My talks focus on how decision-makers can understand bias (and use it for good), how to help people talk to each other more clearlyy, how to advocate for change in your organization, and how to bring humanity back to tech. I also offer an inclusive design workshop for a deeper dive into bias-informed practice.

Quote

At our Design Summit, David’s presentation not only introduced innovative concepts that challenged conventional thinking but also ignited a collective commitment toward crafting solutions that address the diverse needs of users. His understanding of cognitive biases and their impact on the design process was both inspiring and informative.
