About
Why is the intersection of psych & tech interesting?
Psychologists have studied humans for centuries... think cognitive processes like decision-making and attention; social influences from friends, strangers and even machines (!); behavioural science including how beliefs and attitudes are adopted, change and spread; and much much more.
The last few decades have also seen incredible growth in technology across a spectrum of fields - connected devices which are smaller, more powerful and more widely deployed; ambitious climate tech; robots in factories, homes and theme parks; AI which speak and reason in a human-like way - and MORE!
How can we bring these together to tackle our greatest societal challenges?

My Philosophy
Principles for innovating at the intersection
Be flexible: What “psychology” looks like isn’t always obvious, esp when intersecting with design, consumer insights, tech development, and other fields. However, human-centricity as a principle is common - embrace it!
Learn & know yourself: What are you interested in? There are so many fields to explore and market sectors to apply your knowledge to. Remember to balance breadth and depth of understanding.
Communicate: Who knows where connections may arise? :)
