Cognitive Bias Discovery + Mitigation Cards & 2 Workshops

Explore biases that affect product and service design, teams and stakeholders.

Biases shape how people think, act, and make decisions. That includes your users. And your team. And… you. Understanding these biases can help build better products. Ones that are more user-friendly.

This kit is your starter into 60+ cognitive biases that affect how people interact with digital products. And how to become more aware of them as a team.
