Javier Cañada (SP)

"Building up sites and applications is easy. Keeping clients happy may be easy as well. Even building usable stuff is something that can be done with little effort. But going home with the feeling that you are making people's lives easier doesn't happen quite often."

Adam Greenfield (US)

Adam Greenfield is Senior Information Architect for Intervision-Razorfish in Tokyo, Japan, but he gets his groove on at v-2.org. That's where he talks about user-centered interface design, and a whole bunch of other things that you'd probably get a kick out of: innovative architecture, well-thought-out product design, whatever remains of "digital culture," and the frantic ravings of dead French intellectuals. Adam has been a rock critic for SPIN Magazine, a San Francisco bike messenger, a PSYOP sergeant in the US Army Special Operations Command, and Director of New Media Development for a now-defunct dotcom. It would be highly unusual for him to wrap a bio without mentioning his love of pad Thai, gin & tonics, the Citroen DS series, and the Velvet Underground."

Ben Tootell (AUS)

“My area of focus over the last five years has been predominantly in the requirements gathering and design phases for online projects as a Business Analyst and Information Architect. As a Business Analyst I gather, interpret and document the business and end-users’ requirements and as an Information Architect I establish navigational structures, taxonomies and page layouts based on patterns found in data. With my technical, creative and human interaction background, I am able to design solutions which are visually appealing as well as technically feasible and which balance both the users’ and business needs."

Thomas Vander Wal (US)

"Thomas is driven by an economic mindset as it pertains to information, where the best decision is made with all the information in the user's hands. He uses that focus to design and build information applications that strive for ease of use and information that is not only useable but easily repurposed. The foundation he builds upon is information architecture, usability testing, and embracing standards."
