  • Hey guys, thanks for mentioning our presentation, the Right Way to Wireframe around 9:30-13:00. Todd Zaki Warfel (@zakiwarfel) and Russ Unger (@russ) are the two guys who did the session you attended. Glad you enjoyed it.

  • Simon Lilly says:

    Really liked the pain free design sign-off section. Currently going through a design process and felt the 6 principles of collaboration will be really useful. Did you do a Q&A session after you’d finished? If so what were the key questions?

  • Shawn McGaff says:

    I have been thinking recently about the power of videos and I have been contemplating trying it out myself. As a poor college student, it is a pain to get access to decent materials but it is possible if the method is really worth it. It would be awesome if you guys could post an example of the approach you take!

  • Very late in listening to this episode, but the end section about design sign-off was very timely for me. I’ve had frustrating experiences lately, but I was able to pick up quite a few new practices with this episode. Thanks!
