This interview’s been up for a little while, but thought I’d at least get an archive of it as a reference point for later. I thought it was a good interview revolving around the developer/designer workflow and what I thought would be good design-oriented sessions at MIX09
Tim Aidlin, is a User Experience (aka "UX") Designer at Microsoft and is responsible for many of the graphics work being done for MIX09. Since MIX has a strong focus of addressing the needs of designers such as Tim, we felt it would be useful to ask Tim his thoughts about some of the challenges which designers face when working with developers, and what sessions at MIX09 Tim is personally interested in attending.
