I recently conducted an interview with 3 UX Designers who will be speaking at the 2010 UX Australia conference – this year hosted in my home town of Melbourne (August 25-27).

The interview is on sitepoint.com entitled UX Design: What it is, What it Takes, and Where it’s Going.

I’m really happy with how it turned out, I thought the guys had some insightful views especially around what it takes to be a good UX Designer. Have a read and let me know what you think.

It was certainly an experience I’ll never forget and am glad I plucked up the courage to be part of.
