Interview with UX Week Speaker Liz Sanders on Participatory Design
by Kate RutterIt’s rare that you can attend a conference and actually get hands-on with the tools the speaker is discussing. That’s why we’re excited to have Liz Sanders as a presenter at UX Week: you’ll not only learn about participatory design, you’ll get to experience it up close and personal…as a participant.
I had the pleasure of speaking with Liz about her methods, and found that she has some gutsy things to say about the importance of everyday folks in the design process…and where that leaves designers.
Check out the interview.

Well, I guess the problem is similar to how software was developed before usability entered the scene. Developers took most of the decisions. Bringing in “ordinary people” to the design process will help a lot I guess.
I wish the Stockholm Public Transport authorities had done that when designing the new ticket vending machines…
