How to Fix UX Fails with Object-Oriented UX
Masking. Isolating. Breaking. Shapeshifting.
These UX mistakes lead to unnecessary complexity and user frustration, yet they're ubiquitous and insidious. You'll see these mistakes in products created by Google, Apple, Instagram, Airbnb and some of the biggest most "design-friendly" companies in the world. And if you are not paying attention, they are likely creeping into your design work, too.
Here’s the good news, they are super easy to fix—as long as you know how to recognize them! Join Lead UX Designer and OOUX Evangelist, Sophia Prater, to unpack several examples of masked, isolated, broken, and shapeshifting digital objects and how to make sure they are clear, connected, actionable, and recognizable. You will learn create systems that are easier to design, easier to build, and easier to use.
You'll learn
- The basics of Object-Oriented UX through these four main principles, each one helping you prevent and fix these UX fails.
- The cognitive science behind these fails.
- How to spot and fix each of them.
- The main ideas behind the ORCA framework—a process to synthesize research into a solid structure.
This Master Class is for:
- UXers and digital product pros at all levels: newbie to UX Director. (If you are new to OOUX, there’s a 99% chance that the four UX principles taught in this session are going to be completely new to you, no matter your experience level.)
- Anyone looking to save time and money while designing digital products.
- Anyone looking to create more naturally intuitive and elegant digital products.
This session aims to be 100% actionable—you'll be able to put what you learn to use immediately, improving your design work today.
Even if you can't attend live, register to gain access to a recording that you can watch at any time after the broadcast.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why aren’t the Master Class webinars free of cost for members?
While the Master Class webinars aren’t free, they are open to both members and non-members of Interaction Design Foundation. While non-members pay $50 per webinar, members pay only $5. We charge this nominal fee to cover a few costs associated with producing the webinars, including:
The cost of using Zoom as our webinar partner. Zoom is one of the most reliable webinar hosting platforms, but it’s also one of the most expensive. We chose quality over affordability to bring you a better viewing experience, and the nominal fee we charge helps us cover these costs, without making the webinars expensive.
Along with the cost of Zoom, we also cover webinar costs associated with servers, payment gateways and code maintenance. In fact, 40 cents off every dollar in a transaction goes towards just the payment gateway alone!
Charging this small fee goes a long way in helping us cover these costs and enables us to continue to bring you high-quality content with the best experts.

I’m a member, but I cannot see all the Master Classes I purchased on my profile. How can I find the ones that are missing?
After each Master Class broadcast, our video editors painstakingly edit, improve and enhance the quality of these recordings to give you a better experience—but this process takes time, and that’s why there’s sometimes a delay in making them available within your profile.
Until recent Master Class recordings appear in your profile, you can always playback any of the Master Classes you’ve purchased using the Zoom recording links you received after the broadcast. Can’t find these recording links? Then please email mads.soegaard@interaction-design.org for assistance.
