I’ve Been Put on a Pedestal by Mass High Tech Business News

In other very exciting news, I’ve been featured in Galen Moore’s Mass High Tech article New England software experts put UI/UX specialists on a pedestal.

I love how he describes the “new” importance of having a great product experience:

The increased demand for good design, which began with the iPhone and online social networks and games, has come to the call center and the shopping mall security desk. Developers must try to predict how a human will use even the most mundane applications. As it turns out, that’s not an easy thing to do. Combining user focus with a good aesthetic eye? Near impossible. The UI or UX designer has a seat at the head of the table, and companies are under pressure to fill it with the best talent possible.

Thanks to Galen for the nice write up and the fine folks at Viximo who recommended me for the article.

Free Range User Advocate

Wow. It’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything. I need to get better at that. I guess that’s what happens when you get a full time gig.

Well, that’s all changed. I’ve gone free range again. And I’m open for new projects, new adventures and new experiences. Pun intended.

So, anyway, if you’re looking for a user advocate let’s talk.

Eric Sagalyn, User Advocate.

Ouch. IE6.

Did you know that IE6 is over 10 years old. It's time to upgrade. Like most modern web applications, this site won't work with IE6.
