UX Talks Weekly - Issue #3

By Jonathan Kochis • Issue #3 • View online

Good Friday morning everyone! It’s just me this week and I’ve got posts on avoiding the trap of designing what users tell you they want, how to ensure UX and design have a seat at the leadership table in your organization, and the key UX differences between B2B and B2C websites. I’ve also included an article I wrote about making the most of collaborative sketching. Thanks for reading!
