In today’s fast moving design/development environments and straining economy demands that teams become more resourceful in how they practice quality control in interface design.
Not every project has the budget to perform interface design testing. That is a given. However, there are options. Nielsen and Molich developed one such option called Heuristic Evaluation. It is considered [...]

What often fascinates me about formulating user experience is essentially that in order to think out of the box, we have to exist in the box….or sphere…or honeycomb, you get the point.

They are the visual symbols through which the user [...]

Definitely hip on any new gadgets let alone one that brings together my social spaces. Today, Fallon, the shop that 27 years ago opened its doors, without a single client, under the headline, – “A new advertising agency for companies that would rather outsmart the competition than outspend them.” – launched a new logo, a [...]

Getting up and presenting to a large number of people is not easy. It requires a unique skill set that might include a good memory, the ability to speak well publicly, a strong will to hold down vomit, creativity and possess a stealthy artistry in sweat camouflage.
What I do know is that there are individuals [...]
