Island Hopping

Almost 25 years ago, I found myself sitting on a beach on the east coast of Ireland. I was with my good friend Rick who I studied together with at the University. We both had more or less quit our ‘first real’ jobs in Washington D.C. and decided to to take our savings and hit the road in […]

European UX impact survey

I started to divide my time between ‘doing the design’ and everything that went in to that, to making sure and motivating others to ‘do the design’.

Most of these are refined continuously and when I come across a new method or pattern it will be practiced during an ‘experimental’ period.

The Question is More Valuable then the Answer

Recently I had a discussion with someone in my company.

I was talking about the our team and how things we going, and the challenge of all of these new things we needed to work on.
