Episode notes

I think there are some basic design things that anybody who considers themselves any kind of user center designer should know. I do think that we're going to have to see some designers who are more cross-platform. And it's just, it's going to be very interesting to watch everything continue to evolve and to see where this all goes. The real problem that I have with it is that I kind of feel like designer is a little bit like doctor.

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.
