Product Design Psychology

Product Design Psychology is a resource exploring how psychological principles apply to product design, helping creators understand user behavior and improve user experience through cognitive science insights.

Background

A blog and resource hub run by designer and researcher **Joey E. Banks** that applies established psychological principles (e.g., cognitive load, mental models, Fitts's law, the von Restorff effect) to product interface design. The site covers how perception, memory, motivation, and decision-making affect user behavior — bridging academic behavioral science and practical UX work. It's aimed at designers, product managers, and engineers who want to make interfaces more intuitive and persuasive without relying on dark patterns.
