Stephen P. Anderson is a design leader focused 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. Through custom-designed toolkits, on-site training, and The Mighty Minds Club, Stephen helps product teams work through their most difficult situations. As a keynote speaker, Stephen 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 recognized as the man behind the Mental Notes card deck— a tool that’s widely used by product teams to apply psychology to interaction design. He also authored Seductive Interaction Design, which answers the question: “How do we get people to fall in love with our applications?”
