World Usability Day Estonia is the first conference for User Experience professionals & the largest UX-, web- and interaction design event in the Baltics. Already 12th time!
We have new bigger venue – this year #WUDEstonia19 conference takes place at Kultuurikatel (Tallinn Creative Hub).See you at 22nd of November!
Psychology has become very popular in the UX-field, but most practitioners and colleagues expect rather manipulation practices (psychology hacks) than actual scientific understanding of the inner processes of human beings. More and more UX-people however, became aware of UX Psychology in recent years and have repeatedly asked, how they can obtain the basics of Psychology. Going through the scientific literature is very time-consuming, but online courses that are offered usually just scratch the surface and deviate strongly from UX interests. Therefore, I decided to put together a workshop, in which I convey all psychological and psychotherapeutic principles relevant for and tailored to UX work.
This full day course will take anyone from novice to possessing the skills to engage users in today’s highly competitive marketplace.
Participants will first probe the psychology underlying how humans engage with other and with things, and then apply that both to real world and digital scenarios to apply their new knowledge, and turn it into a reusable skill. They’ll learn what the three process of engagement are, and how to distinguish low engagement tactics from higher engagement strategies.
Accessibility is not just about correct contrast levels and it’s definitely not just a checklist for the technical implementation - a lot has to be done and the whole team has to be involved already in the early stages of product development to provide an inclusive digital experience for all.
In this workshop you'll learn:
- How to get started with building accessible digital products
- How to coordinate teamwork and different roles for the best outcome
- Practical design tools and methods for accessibility - from design systems to browser extensions.
Through a series of exercises and examples that you can bring from your own experience or products, we will deep dive into what meaningful tracking means and how to interpret the data of your website.
We will explore ways of tracking and validating important things of the user experience besides the Google Analytics basic metrics.
Service design combines key elements from user-experience design, interaction design, and quality management to create long-term value. In this full-day workshop, you’ll discover the basic elements of each of these disciplines and how they work together to raise customer satisfaction, increase conversions, and enhance key events along the customer journey.

Tariq Zaman
Associate professor at UCTS Malaysia
Tariq Zaman is an Associate Professor in the School of Computing and Creative Multimedia at the University College of Technology Sarawak (UCTS) Malaysia. His academic and community outreach activities concentrate on IT and service co-design with indigenous and marginalized communities. For the last ten years, he is engaged in learning relationships with the indigenous communities in the forests of Borneo and bringing the wonders of nature back to the classroom.
Talk: Signs, material and technology: A design journey in the forests of Malaysian Borneo
In this presentation, Tariq Zaman will share his experiences and insights of co-designing mobile technologies with indigenous communities for digitization and preservation of indigenous knowledge in Malaysian Borneo. He will reflect upon and report the outcomes of the design journey which was initiated in 2009. Dr. Zaman recognizes the fact that the representation of indigenous knowledge is transformed within the digitisation process under the limitations and capabilities of the technology, however, he also believes that a continuation of local appropriation and co-design of tools will lead to an integrated, intuitive and non-intrusive design process within the local communities.

A 5 year old asks an average of 244 questions per day. That’s one question every 5 minutes. How much time did you spend asking questions for your product or service?
You don’t need a team of researchers with a 5 figure budget to run a research. There are way simpler forms of validating your idea before investing development resources into your project.
During the presentation we will discuss different research methods and real life examples that you can start applying today!
Workshop: Go beyond the bounce rate – design for business impact
I will bring 5 cases studies of online business models and present how those companies make money. By the end of the workshop the audience will be able to create custom tracking on aspects of the business that matters the most. They will be able to present and discuss their findings with C level people in the business. Most of all they will learn how to prioritise business when needed opposed to thinking only the user.
We will deep dive into:
How to properly track your business
How to identify opportunities in data
Prepare to talk the business language with the relevant stake holders.

Martina Mitz
UX Psychologist
Martina started as a self-taught Web Designer in 1999. From the very beginning her approach was user-centered despite not being familiar with the now-common phrase of ‘User Experience’.
In 2007 she finalized her (Diploma-) study in Psychology and started working in the field of clinical Psychology. It was at this point that Martina’s academic background and her passion joined and she started a career as UX Designer, being called “Conceptioner” at first. Since then Martina has not only contributed to the digital and service ecosystems of many recognizable companies (e.g. eBay, PayPal, Emirates Airlines, Volkswagen, Telekom and many more), but she also helped selected Start-ups in Europe, by forming and driving their Research, as well as contributing to their product or service strategy and definition.
Psychology has become very popular in the UX-field, but most practitioners and colleagues expect rather manipulation practices (psychology hacks) than actual scientific understanding of the inner processes of human beings. More and more UX-people however, became aware of UX Psychology in recent years and have repeatedly asked, how they can obtain the basics of Psychology. Going through the scientific literature is very time-consuming, but online courses that are offered usually just scratch the surface and deviate strongly from UX interests. Therefore, I decided to put together a workshop, in which I convey all psychological and psychotherapeutic principles relevant for and tailored to UX work.
Understand how they tick and what really motivates them. Identify their deeper needs and problems without talking to them. Whether you are an aspiring UX designer, psychologist or part of a product team, this workshop is for you.
Day 1 ‘UX Psychology Theory’ 14:00-18:00
Psychology has become very popular in the UX-field, but most practitioners and colleagues expect rather manipulation practices (psychology hacks) than actual scientific understanding of the inner processes of human beings. More and more UX-people however, became aware of UX Psychology in recent years and have repeatedly asked, how they can obtain the basics of Psychology. Going through the scientific literature is very time-consuming, but online courses that are offered usually just scratch the surface and deviate strongly from UX interests. Therefore, I decided to put together a workshop, in which I convey all psychological and psychotherapeutic principles relevant for and tailored to UX work.
In this 4h workshop the participant will learn how a (Neuro-/Bio-) Psychologist conceives humans; how a Psycho Therapist builds relationship with their clients, so that together they can start solving (psychological) problems; how a psychological Researcher conducts different kinds of tests and experiments to understand human psyche and needs; and last but not least – how all these principles map to the UX-process.
The workshop does not requite any preliminary knowledge about Psychology as it builds a common knowledge-fundament from the very beginning.
Day 2 ‘UX Psychology Applied’ 10:00-18:00
It’s hard to uncover what motivates people by just talking to them or when you don’t have anything to show them – relying on people’s imagination can turn out quite risky. People will not only tell you what you want to hear but they are also highly unaware of what profoundly motivates their behavior, so they are not very good at reporting or forecasting it. In the deeper levels of human motivation, however, lies the true potential for meaningful products or services and we are going to tap into these as UX psychologists do.
In this workshop, you will learn how to get access to the deeper levels of human motivation by observing people in their natural environment and behavior. First, you will learn how to collect observations in an objectified and valuable way.
Then, in small groups, you will exercise a short approach to create an informed hypothesis based on the observed behaviors. Finally, you will bring your hypothesis to life in a product or service concept, which leaves you with something you can then put in front of users.
The workshop does not require any preliminary UX-knowledge and is, therefore, suitable for everyone involved in the early stages of Product/Feature Development, as well as anyone interested in human behaviour.

Talk: Information 4.0. What it is and what you can do to succeed
Information doesn’t come in “versions” but the digital community likes to invent names. And Information 4.0 is the latest buzzword in the
world of communication. The information architects are talking about this a lot. You’ll also hear a lot about how artificial intelligence is going to impact your business or organization. The computer scientists have lots to say on 4.0, too.
Service design combines key elements from user-experience design, interaction design, and quality management to create long-term value. In this full-day workshop, you’ll discover the basic elements of each of these disciplines and how they work together to raise customer satisfaction, increase conversions, and enhance key events along the customer journey.
What You’ll Learn
How service design relates to user experience
How you can create value even with a small budget
How you can move projects from subjective guesswork to measurable success
How you can inspire teams and service providers
How you can get the most out of service-design tools including:
o User-centered-design basics (UCD)
o Touchpoint analyses
o Customer journey maps
o Use cases
o User scenarios
o Storyboards
o Personas
o Proof of concept / performance metrics
And finally, we will bring these together to create a service-design blueprint that helps you create a shared frame of reference for your team, provides overview, and helps pinpoint problems waiting for an innovative service solution!
This is a true workshop and our day together will be marked by several hands-on exercises. Not only are these fun, but they help you internalize the key features of service design so you can provide greater value for your employer or clients from the very next day.
Who This Workshop is For
Designers and UX professionals who want to take their skills beyond the screen to create truly valuable cross-platform experiences.

In the latter roles, he contributed to the establishment of the north east of England as a major centre of creative digital technology.
Talk: Being a Human-Focused Team Player in a Competitive Creative Industry
Many countries classify software as a creative industry. For the last few years, major usability consultancies (e.g., uie.com, nngroup.com) have been expanding their offer to include creative and strategic design considerations.
Human focuses, such as contextual research and user experience evaluation, must now integrate effectively with creative, strategic and technical practices. There can no longer be a single centre to software design. No single development philosophy is adequate in isolation, whether this is agile, lean, design thinking, concurrent engineering, user experience, human-centred or value-sensitive design. Every project is unique and every software development team will draw on their own tried and tested resources, as well as continuously develop news ones for competitive advantage.
In this talk, Gilbert will present a framework for managing creative software work that is critically informed by strategic, human and technical considerations.

Daniel is a dedicated Inclusive Design practitioner and promoter. He has been a guest lecturer in Estonian Academy of Arts Design Faculty and organising student competition UNILAB - Estonian Universal Design Incubator. He is currently working in Estonian Public Sector Innovation Team, to help design user friendly and human-centered public services.
Let’s imagine for a second that we’ve reached an era where we’ve managed to implement all the digital and physical accessibility requirements everywhere in the world. Where do we go from there? When it’s no longer necessary to meet basic human rights, we can start focusing on what moves and touches our hearts, what truly makes us excited.
In my talk I’m bringing forth examples of different contemporary works that are already thinking past guidelines and requirements. Even more, accessibility cannot be met with only focusing on codes and measurements. The only way to meet the “New World Criteria” is to look past requirements and learn from and with the real people. This creates an opportunity to get inspiration from the connection with a fellow human being and develop new and clever solutions to everyday phenomenon that we all can benefit from.

Talk: Faces of customer journey mappers: creating personas for CJM software
As a team developing customer journey mapping software, we have a unique chance to engage with hundreds of journey mappers from all over the world on a daily basis. We’ve heard hundreds of stories and, we’ve seen thousands of customer journey maps. All of that gave us all resources to develop and validate Personas, describing different “mapper” types. We’ll tell how we created Personas step by step, what we based on, how we incorporated part of Personas validation into product onboarding, what insights we discovered and how this knowledge changed our product (and affected our team).
This talk will be interesting to everyone who always wanted to start using Personas but didn’t know how to do it or whether it was worth it. On top of that if you are building customer journey maps, chances are you’ll recognize yourself in our Personas and learn what differs you from other mappers.

Is it hard for you to build empathy to your users? Is it hard for you to be on the same page with the rest of the team on who we are building our product for? Even if you’ve done that, is it still hard for you to come up with a good solution to reach your project’s goal? Or is it hard to come up to mutually agreed project scope in your team? The workshop will highlight 2 useful tools, Empathy Mapping and Impact Mapping, to help you to fix that.
First part will cover Empathy Mapping tool: a useful method to get the information from the heads of participants and to put everybody on the same in regards to their customer, users or whoever they are trying to build empathy for. Participants will get familiar with the tool and will see the results of mutual collaborative usage of the tool.
Second part will cover Impact Mapping tool: a strategic planning technique that helps to reduce waste by preventing scope creep and over-engineered solutions. Participants will get familiar with the tool and will see how it combines with Empathy Mapping and mutually benefits from it.
Workshops takes place in Estonian Academy of Arts, room D306 Address Põhja puiestee 7, Tallinn
Job Map in practice – 4 hrs
UX specialists’ job is to think about people needs and build product/service that satisfies those needs.
Jobs-to-be-Done theory helps us to look at people’s needs from a different perspective. This theory states that people hire products to get their job done. And our main goal is to find these jobs, understand underlying unmet needs, struggles, and desired outcomes.
There is a great technique within JTBD – Job Map – which helps us to put in order all steps people take to get their jobs done. This map can help us to get a bird view and create seamless and meaningful UX.
What topics will be covered:
What is Jobs-to-be-Done theory and how we can apply it for UX design
What is a “Job” and how we can define it
How we can map our customers’ job
What strategies exist for working with map
What we will practice:
Synthesizing a job from research results
Building a Job Map
Generating product ideas based on different strategies
