About Viget's User Experience Lab
Creating effective user experiences requires a balance of empathy, just enough creativity, sharp design acumen, an eye for detail, and a deep knowledge of how the web works. As the User Experience Lab at Viget, we believe strongly that there's no one perfect process that will help you find that balance. As a result, we're constantly exploring new methods, new practices, and obsessively exploring the web so that we can help our clients build the best products they can. Of course, we think it's a heck of a lot of fun too.
So, in this blog, we want to share our explorations with you. You'll find:
- Interesting User Experience related links and articles from around the web.
- Product design discussions, helping to clarify what is and isn't working on the web today.
- Meditations on our experiments with new user research and design methods.
- Thoughts and critiques on the evolving practices of IA and interaction design on the web.
- The occasional ranting and raving about bad usability.
The Team
Todd Moy
Todd's attraction to Uniball Vision pens, Prismacolor 20% Grey markers, Post-its and graph paper is almost unhealthy. Whether at a whiteboard or at his desk, you'll usually find him scribbling out the details of an interface or a design problem by hand.
Laura Sweltz
Laura draws from her background in user testing and research to help clients understand the needs of their users and create products that are enjoyable to use.
Kevin Vigneault
Kevin (or KV around the office) is a fan of unfussy design that gets the job done. His third grade art teacher told him "you can always add more glue, but it's hard to remove it if you use too much." KV tries to follow that lesson when it comes to helping clients plan features and content.
