Mike Courtney

Dallas, United States

I'm a researcher, ethnographer and futurist.

As a researcher, I've always been naturally curious about how consumers’ think and what motivates them as they interact with their environment. I'm passionate about exploring what causes behavior and what it takes to change it.

I'm the founder of Aperio Insights, a research agency with a software mindset.

We use technology to continuously tweak methods that push teams beyond linear thinking and incremental change into ideas that change the game.

Designing for Timeless Needs

'24 Hours of UX' is a grassroots, non-profit initiative bringing authentic, local content to the global UX, design & business communities.

Hour #20 featured 'Dallas User Experience Group' in Dallas, USA. Instead of going into the small details of UX, the speakers explored the small details of user's minds, and the concept they call 'Timeless Needs'.
