Stephen Wendel

I'm the Head of Behavioral Science at Morningstar, where we use behavioral econ and psych to help people take control of their money and pursue their financial goals .
I'm also the author of Designing for Behavior Change, a step-by-step guide for building products that support behavior change - from exercise and diet to learning a new language.
I help organize the Action Design Network, which brings together over 5,000 practitioners working on product-mediated behavior change in monthly meetups in DC, Chicago, NYC, Boston, and SF. Please stop on by! We also have a facebook group for those who aren't in one of those cities.
In the evenings, I volunteer as a mentor for 1776 DC, The Fort, and 500 Startups.
I'm also a proud father and a not-nearly-professional-enough handy man.
