This first event will primarily discuss the nature of the speakers and the development of a simple, sustainable organisational model for MAD.

When Psychology Met User Experience (Redux)

A year ago, Chris Atherton was a senior lecturer in psychology at the University of Central Lancashire, teaching and researching visual attention. Since then, she’s interned at Skype, consulted for a startup, and advised curators at the British Museum about improving the user experience of exhibitions. Chris generally prefers not to count her chickens until they’re hatched, but hopes that by the time you read this she will have started at Numiko in Leeds as a user experience architect. Expect anecdotes, wireframes, and some surprising explanations about how academic psychology segues into UX.
