Can you understand and assess the potentially far-reaching consequences of seemingly small design choices? As designers, every decision you make influences user actions. You are shaping behavior, whether intentionally or not. In this Master Class with Expert Behavioral Designer, Samuel Salzer, you’ll learn how you can use tools, insights, and principles from behavioral design to thoughtfully and systematically design for behavior change.

This session will demystify the concepts of behavioral design and product psychology, to show you what really matters when integrating behavioral science into your workflow. The aim is to enhance your ability to understand user needs and ensure your designs not only meet key product metrics such as engagement, retention, and low churn but also crucially influence the right behavior change.

You’ll learn:

• The foundational principles of behavioral design, emphasizing systematic processes over quick fixes.
• User research through a behavioral science lens, enabling you to navigate its complexities and leverage diverse viewpoints for richer outcomes.
• Strategic uses of behavioral design tools like behavioral maps and behavioral personas, highlighting their unique advantages over traditional tools.
• Practical, systematic approaches to apply behavioral design principles to boost user engagement and satisfaction.
• The nuances of understanding user behaviors beyond what users can articulate—exploring the 'why' behind their actions, not just the 'what' they say or do.

This Master Class is crucial for anyone looking to significantly impact their design practice through the powerful lens of behavioral design. It's not just about adding new tools to your toolkit—it's about evolving your perspective to transform how you see and influence the world through your design choices.

Design systems streamline design processes by providing a cohesive set of guidelines and components that ensure product consistency, improve team collaboration, enhance efficiency and user experience. In this Master Class with Jarvis Moore, Senior Design Lead, Design Systems at Microsoft, you’ll explore the foundational building blocks and strategic approaches necessary to establish a successful design system. This session is for design systems leaders who want to build and organize a design system team effectively. You’ll discover how to conceptualize and implement the core components of a design system, as well as lead and manage a specialized team dedicated to its development and maintenance.

You’ll learn:

• Core systems understanding: Gain in-depth knowledge of the essential elements, such as foundations, tokens, motion, and content that form the backbone of a design system.
• Team building and management: Learn strategies for assembling a skilled design system team, focusing on roles, responsibilities, and collaboration techniques to maximize team efficiency and cohesion.
• Tool proficiency with Figma: Master Figma to effectively convert design concepts into digital assets and libraries, ensuring your team leverages the best practices in tool usage.
• Effective onboarding and communication strategies: Develop and implement communication plans and onboarding processes that align your team and streamline workflow.
• Documentation and governance: Focus on creating, organizing, and maintaining clear and comprehensive documentation, which is crucial for supporting your design system and ensuring consistency across all team outputs.

At the end of this Master Class, you’ll be equipped with the expertise to lead the development and implementation of a scalable and adaptable design system.

Error messages are essential to create a successful user experience (UX). They guide users, offer instant feedback, and prevent mishaps. Friendly and informative, they build trust and empower users while ensuring inclusivity and satisfaction. However, many error messages fall short, being too generic or technical, and lead to frustration rather than assistance.

How can we design better error messages UX? How do we display errors in data tables? Where do we place them?

In this one-hour Master Class webinar with Vitaly Friedman, a UX Lead working with the European Parliament and the Founder of Smashing Magazine, you'll delve into error message UX details, covering form layout, live validation, disabled buttons, compatibility, and crafting effective error messages. You'll also learn techniques to improve error recovery rates and proactively minimize errors.

You’ll learn:

• How to display error messages in complex apps and forms.
• How to design better validation to reduce friction and frustration.
• Where to place error messages in a layout for tables, filters and forms.
• How to prevent mistakes and slips with better form design.

Join this Master Class webinar to learn techniques to design better error messages, improve validation, optimize error message placement and prevent mistakes.
