Chris Nodder

Chris Nodder is a user researcher and interaction design specialist who got so frustrated by seeing poor examples of persuasive design on web sites that he wrote a book on how to be good at being evil. Evil By Design is for user experience practitioners, developers, and the general public alike. It shows you how companies use persuasive techniques, and how to avoid being persuaded by them. Chris also hosts the evilbydesign.info site, where he invites you to add your own examples of evil interfaces.

Chris is the founder of Chris Nodder Consulting LLC, an agile user experience company that helps large organizations and lean startups build products that users love. He was previously a Director at Nielsen Norman Group and a Senior User Researcher at Microsoft.

Chris wants to spread the word about User Centered Design. He creates online video training classes for Lynda.com, and writes about agile user experience research and design techniques at QuestionableMethods.com.
