UX Brighton evenings returned with UX Oktoberfest - our last event before November’s big conference. Join us on 8th October at Fabrica Gallery for three talks from three fantastic speakers, none of whom - sadly - have consented to wearing their lederhosen.
Cognitive biases & design – Jerome Ribot
Jerome will be talking about embracing psychology to help make better product experiences. By designing around various cognitive biases, we can make users feel great, spend more, and come back again and again.

Come together – Better connections between physical products, digital services and the teams that deliver them – Jason Mesut
Jason will talk around the divides and overlaps between Industrial Design and Digital Service Design and why we must start to work better with others to create a better future for products and services in the future.

Using Design for Competitive Advantage – Andy Budd
Why do so many digital companies favour technology over design? In his talk Andy will explain How startups (and any other business) can use design for more than making something pretty. Instead Andy believes that design is one of the few areas of competitive advantage left.
