Victor Yacko is a UX researcher and author of Design for the Mind. He says he tries weird things just because they sound like they'll be fun to do. Victor: "I don't really plan what I'm going to be doing in that's actually not true" Jason works tirelessly to bring you insight from the top names in UX so you can put the Kapow on bad design.
Laura Klein shows us how User Experience happens whether we design it intentionally or not. She paints a picture of what the the future of UX Design looks like. She teaches us if we’re too close to a project, we ought to step back and let others do the research. She also uses a really effective medical analogy to remind us of the value of specialization.
