We’re obviously fond of books and their authors at Fluxible, but we get really excited about decks of cards. That’s why today’s speaker announcement is extra special!

Stephen P. Anderson is an internationally recognized speaker and consultant based out of Dallas, Texas. He created the Mental Notes card deck, a tool that's widely used by product teams to apply psychology to interaction design. He’s also the author of Seductive Interaction Design, which answers questions like "How do we get people to fall in love with our applications?” and “What makes a deck of cards so damn exciting?”

Prior to venturing out on his own, Stephen spent more than a decade building and leading teams of information architects, interaction designers and UI developers. He’s designed Web applications for numerous technology startups as well as corporate clients such as Nokia, Frito-Lay, Sabre Travel Network, and Chesapeake Energy. His little off-time was devoted to exploring the relationship between playing cards and trading cards. And designing cards too, clearly.

Between public speaking and project work, Stephen offers workshops and training to help organizations manage creative teams, create interactive visualizations, and design better customer experiences.

He frequently tweets as @stephenanderson and rarely updates his website at poetpainter.com. But we can forgive him for that, and you should too.

We’re delighted that Stephen has been added to this year’s stacked deck of fabulous speakers!

Stay tuned for further announcements and details about Stephen’s session at Fluxible.
