The Architect of anything must have vision.The vision will evolve. It must be flexible so that ongoing findings from research, design and continued iteration can influence the experience and make it better for the humans that need to interact.

I believe collaboration is the key to creating the best experience. Collaboration with the people that make the product and the people that will ultimately use it. This involves all levels of interaction.Good design can only come from understanding these interactions.

As creators of experience, we have a tool box of methods we can draw upon to find information to inform us. It is the best practitioners that choose wisely. Only over time do we understand how flexible that set of tools can be when wielded by the practiced designer. So keep practicing, never stop learning. The way to find the solution is to embrace the fact that you don’t know the answer when you begin. Remember the space in between.

I practice the art, science and craft of organizing information, collaborating with people, and problem solving to drive toward a vision, execution and ongoing improvement for an excellent User Experience. I make the complex clear. I am an Information Architect.
