As humans, we have an underlying “blueprint” for how we perceive and process the world around us, and the study of psychology helps us decipher this blueprint. Designers can use this knowledge to build more intuitive, human-centered products and experiences. Instead of forcing users to adapt to the design of a product or experience, we can use some key principles from psychology as a guide for designing in a way that is adapted to people.
This website seeks to make complex psychology heuristics accessible to more designers through an interactive resource that collects those that are relevant to user experience design and presents them in a visually engaging way. It was created by Jon Yablonski.
