After attending her seminar during the PreCon of the IA Summit 2007, where visitors learned how to create a Mental Model (during the teamwork that needs to take place between IAs and their clients), I had the chance to interview her. One of the things I really like about her is her great ability to describe complex things in an understandable way, using metaphors such as ‘the hallway test’ to help communicate methods like the Mental Model to the business world.” (IA Voice)

“Dan Saffer, senior interaction designer at Adaptive Path, has a new book coming out called Designing for Interaction. We met up at the AP offices when I was in town last and had a great chat about what makes for great interaction design, how you allow for (encourage?) hackability, and much more.
