Life and Death Design: What Life-Saving Technology Can Teach Everyday UX Designers
"Katie Swindler does a brilliant job of breaking down our stress response, with vivid stories that demonstrate how the systems we create can help or hinder at critical times."-- Carolyn Chandler, coauthor, A Project Guide to UX Design and Adventures in Experience Design
Emergencies--landing a malfunctioning plane, resuscitating a heart attack victim, or avoiding a head-on car crash--all require split-second decisions that can mean life or death. Fortunately, designers of life-saving products have leveraged research and brain science to help users reduce panic and harness their best instincts.
Life and Death Design brings these techniques to everyday designers who want to help their users think clearly and act safely.

to joining Allstate, she was a UX Director at FCB Chicago, where she
was the UX lead on the 2016 global redesign of JackDaniels.com, as
well as the lead experience designer for many other clients such as
