Our Theory & Practice session had to be cancelled
We were snowed out today, but will reschedule Matt for later.
Guest speaker
Matt Poland will speak with us a variety of things. As he described what he will talk about ...
My general "pitch" would be to talk about working as a UX researcher who doesn't really do design per se, and the importance of usability research for understanding how users think and behave when they're using a UI, and the insights designers/developers can have based on it. I can also talk about the experience of being a consultant rather than in-house.
Consider what you might want to ask him.
