May UPA-DC Chapter Meeting

Last night I spoke at my local UPA chapter meeting on design and the changing landscape of usability. It is a rare privilege to be asked to speak in front of your peers and I was honored to be given the chance.

The talk was the latest in a series of presentations I’ve given on UI design. The focus, once again, was on looking past the baseline of consistent design and daring to delight your users. This was the longest I’ve ever spoken, at 1 hour and 30 minutes. The time gave me the flexibility to give context and balance the conversation. (instead of the usual confrontational approach)

I appreciated all who came out to see the talk and I really appreciated your questions, comments and feedback. This won’t be the last time I speak. Below I’ve linked to PDF versions of the slides for all and anyone who is interested.
