🧠 Lecture: "Scroll, Swipe, Sold: How Our Favorite Apps Keep Us Hooked"
🎤 Speaker: UX Design Expert, Nasir Barday
Pull back the curtain on the tricks, traps, and subtle manipulations hiding in your social media, AI chatbots, and dating apps—and how they shape what you click, buy, and believe. You’ve seen them: the “only 2 left!” countdown that never hits zero, the impossible-to-find unsubscribe button, the guilt-inducing pop-up, the cookie banner where “accept all” is effortless and “decline” is a maze. These are dark patterns, design choices built to steer your behavior while pretending to be helpful.
In this talk, you’ll learn to spot the tactics that push you to buy faster, share more, and stay longer than you ever planned. Expect sharp insights, a few uneasy laughs, and plenty of “wait, that’s on purpose?” moments. Come for the design secrets. Stay for the psychology, the ethics, and the realization that your phone might be better at influencing you than most people you’ve dated.
Nasir Barday is a expert in designing products that help professionals across the financial industry make million-dollar decisions, with experience at Goldman Sachs, Fidelity, Wells Fargo, and Citadel.
