À propos de l'auteur

Her research has been published in HBR, Forbes, Communication Arts, Information Age, and elsewhere. Her talks and workshops at venues like SXSW, UX Week, and UX London have a reputation for being high–energy, hands on, and just a little bit quirky. Leah's professional experience spans agencies, startups, and Fortune 100 companies. In her 20+ years in the user experience field, she has held roles at Lovevery, InVision, Forrester, Intuit, and Adaptive Path. At InVision she created a proprietary design maturity model based on data from over 2,000 companies globally to identify the design practices that tie to business impact.

Joe Natoli is a UX consultant, career coach, author, and speaker. For three decades, he's advised, trained, and empowered the UX, product design, and development teams of some of the world's largest organizations—from Fortune 100 companies to U.S. government agencies and startups. He has published 10 books and is a regular keynote speaker and lecturer at industry conferences and corporate events across the globe. Joe has also taught more than 300,000 students through his online courses and the UX 365 Academy (www.ux365academy.com), which he founded in order to serve those traditionally excluded from the high cost of UX education. He also maintains a private coaching practice, working every week with practitioners at all stages of their career. Joe's approach to improving UX and product design focuses on addressing systemic, personal dynamics issues across individuals, teams, and organizations: combating impostor syndrome and increasing self–confidence, improving communication and collaboration, addressing fear and dysfunction driving poor management practices, and redesigning inappropriate, counterproductive processes. His experience has been that when these root causes are uncovered, improved, and solved for, the output of the work—and the experience people have with it—improves dramatically. Joe lives in Washington DC with his wife Eli and three kids, and he strives to be the person his dog Rosie thinks he is.
