Stephen P. Anderson is a speaker and consultant based in Dallas, Texas. He spends unhealthy amounts of time thinking about design, psychology, and leading entrepreneurial teams—topics he frequently speaks about at national and international events.

Stephen recently published the Mental Notes card deck, a tool to help businesses use psychology to design better experiences. And, he’s currently writing a book on “Seductive Interactions” that will explore this topic of psychology and design in more detail.
