Stephen P. Anderson

Stephen is a design leader who focuses on workforce learning and organizational development——and he’s on a mission: to make learning the hard stuff fun, by creating things to think with and spaces for generative play. By creating custom toolkits, providing on-site training, and through The Mighty Minds Club, Stephen helps product teams work through their most difficult situations. As a keynote speaker, he continues to challenge and inspire audiences as he exposes the quirky connections between games, play, learning, interactive visualizations, and other exciting topics. Stephen is most well-known as the man behind the Mental Notes card deck—a tool that product teams can use to apply psychology to interaction design. He is also the author of Seductive Interaction Design, which answers the question: How do we get people to fall in love with our applications? Stephen is also coauthor of the Rosenfeld Media book Figure It Out: Getting From Information to Understanding.
