UXWhy

Matters


“I view a user experience as a conversation between people separated over

the distance of time. At one end of that conversation are those who create

the product; at the other, the people who use it. In between is the product

itself—with a design that either helps or hinders; creates a barrier-free

interaction or shouts in an unfamiliar language. Because this conversation

does not happen in real time, we are not there to smooth over the rough

spots and make sure that we have spoken clearly. Instead, we have to build

our understanding of those users into every aspect of the design, by putting

people—users—at the center of the design process.” – Whitney Quesenbery
