This past May I had the opportunity to present at XPLANE on a topic I’m very passionate about, Interaction Design. This was a fun joint event with Gateway Chi, the St. Louis usability professionals group, and Flex and Fuse the Arch, my home Flex and Cold Fusion group. 

July looks to be another busy month of speaking for me. If you happen to be near Kansas City or Chicago, and have any interest in Interaction Design and the designer/developer workflow, please come out and join us. As much as I enjoy presenting, I derive much greater pleasure from the ensuing discussions and exchange of knowledge.

“The big difference that’s arisen in this new agile world is how integrated the team is. No longer is UX design owned by the UX designers: everyone on the team now has design responsibilities. That means that everyone needs to be informed about what the design is trying to do.”
