UI designer focusing on interaction design, usability, visual design & web standards
There is one person in djlittle’s collective.
Dan and Jeffrey talk with special guest Jared Spool about usability testing in the real world, with practical advice for designers, UI engineers, and developers alike.
Jared Spool is the founder of User Interface Engineering, the largest usability research organization of its kind in the world. He’s been working in the field of usability and design since 1978, before the term “usability” was ever associated with computers.
Dan and Jeffrey talk with Whitney Hess (bio | blog | Twitter) about social networking, getting clients, and user experience design—from research to wireframes to testing and beyond.
The world of design has become big business — and business is being revolutionized by "design thinking."
Using his own unique career path from Navy nuclear engineer to Harvard MBA to leadership roles at IDEO, Frog Design and Adaptive Path, Michael Meyer zeros in on the lessons of breakdowns and innovation from the Roman spread of civilization to the NASA space program, and provide valuable insight from his insider’s view of the design world over the last 10 years

Be clear first and clever second. If you have to throw one of those out, throw out clever. — Jason Fried
