Building User Friendly Products with Ed Watkeys

Last night, Ed Watkeys joined us as the speaker. Ed is currently the founder of Transmogrify, LLC and focuses on product design, user interface design, and software engineering. Ed has worked on product for Intuit and was part of Half.com when it exploded and was sold to eBay.

Ed spent the first part of the presentation speaking generally about design elements-- talking about things that please the eye and how traditional elements designed to be pleasing to the eye in the "brick and mortar" world translate into online design. He then spent some time talking more specifically about web page design and brought up some samples to show us his thinking. He also spent some time commenting on the web designs of our current teams and offered a series of suggestions.

Ed's information was well received and we are grateful for his time. Thank you, Ed.
