Understanding cognitive bias is an important tool to understand to start designing more consciously. Our users have biases and so do we. David Dylan Thomas’ new book, Design for Cognitive Bias, explores how design and content strategy can help keep them at bay (or use them for good). Chat with the author about how we can try to save tech from itself.
