What does it mean to be a behavioral designer? For products to grow and thrive, they have to align with how their users think and behave.
Being a ‘Behavioral Designer’ is about recognizing this truth — and using behavioral science to design products that improve customers’ lives.
Ultimately, it means understanding the behavior you’re designing for and finding ways to achieve it.
Is this easy? Rarely, but if there’s one thing that helps, it’s surrounding yourself with experts and a community that’s learning and thinking about these issues.

Coming from a Master’s in Applied Psychology, I learned some new nudges and have more examples to talk about when talking about why behavioral science is important. Thank you so much!”
The feedback is very valuable and I appreciate the opportunity to ask burning questions. Kristen is amazing at thinking on her feet. Very inspiring.”
I learned invaluable lessons and insights that I can apply immediately, both professionally and personally.”
Simply amazing! Can’t wait to put these concepts into use with my customers and my internal teams.”
Very cool to see the principles and then see them very specifically applied in a real-world context. Great work!”
I know our products inside out – but this really helped highlight blindspots that I was missing and enabled me to identify key friction points! This was the best learning experience I have ever had.”
I had no questions in mind, but left with real valuable actionable guidance. Especially took a big note of using the identifiable victim to stimulate emotions and validate the problem/solution further with data!”
The behavioral analysis I learned takes journey mapping to a new level. It helped me think deeply about where the product environment wasn’t supporting the user and how I could come up with actionable experiments to make it better.”

So much! In fact, we aim to provide everything you need to accelerate positive behavior change with your product.
A few of the benefits you can expect:

Behavioral science can fundamentally change product management. It teaches you to prioritize not what users say they’ll do, but what they actually do.
And behavioral design works:
Behavioral design can be applied anywhere. Want to create a new product to help students save money? Make your meditation app more sticky? Increase uptake of your city’s recycling program? Use behavioral design.
Behavioral design is a superpower for anyone working in product—and you can apply it to improve your results immediately.
You can join one of the discussions in our Slack channels, send a DM, or ask a question directly during one of our member events. We’re biased, but we believe that the community of people who love behavioral science and product design are some of the finest folks you’ll find anywhere—and they love to form authentic human connections. The sky’s the limit!
Hold your horses. We’re pretty happy with the community now. Of course, we get a lot of requests from members, and we take those seriously. We also have big ambitions for the where behavioral design is headed and love that the community is evolving and growing.
In other words: the future is unwritten.
Actually, it’s more like a superpower. All product design boils down to influencing behavior change. Our community uses insights from behavioral science to increase human health, wealth, and happiness. Guess what? It turns out that’s good for business, too (just ask the companies we consult with).
Of course, any knowledge of human psychology can also be abused—but knowing those techniques is also your best defense against misuse of those principles.
With great power comes great responsibility—but you do want the power, right?
