{ “User Interface Design in an Agile Environment”: Jeff White and Josh Unger’s talk at IxDA | Interaction ‘08 Conference }
As interaction designers working within agile teams, Jeff White and Josh Unger have used a design studio approach to user interface design on five separate occasions over the past year in order to establish design direction during early development cycles and provide the design vision for multiple sprints. In their talk at IxDA | Interaction ‘08 Conference, they describe their experience with the merger of user centered design into agile (team) development practice as manifest in a one day design studio. The evolution of one design using the design studio process is presented, and benefits and challenges to a design studio approach are discussed.
Jeff White graduated from Purdue University where he studied Computer Graphics Technology and Visual Communication Design. He’s been the owner of an ad agency in Charlotte, NC and now works for JewelryTV in Knoxville, TN where he works with teams of engineers to design and develop rich internet applications.
Jim Ungar holds a Master’s Degree in HCI from the University of Michigan. He’s been an Interaction Designer for companies such as Sandia National Laboratories and the Naval Postgraduate School. Jim is currently the Senior Interaction Designer at JewelryTV in Knoxville, TN where he leads the design of rich internet applications.
