Teaching Experienced IA Chicks New Tricks
July 7th, 2006
At the last IA Summit, on my way to the workshop I was teaching, I bumped into Donna Maurer in the elevator. Donna is the only person I know from Murrumbateman, NSW (Australia) and one of the smartest information architects I’ve met. Imagine my surprise when she told me she was also on the way to my seminar.
I couldn’t figure out why she was coming, as my I thought my session was for people who were new to information architecture. I thought she just was being polite.
Imagine my surprise when she sent me these kind words this week:
“I don’t know if you remember, but when I ran into you in the lift going down to your workshop at the IA Summit, you said ‘why are you going to this’ and I said ‘because I don’t know everything’. Truly, I learned more useful, practical stuff in that day than anything in the last couple of years. You should see my link-heavy homepages. So, thanks. Even experienced IA chicks can learn stuff!”
Wow! Thanks, Donna!
I’m giving the same presentation at the upcoming Webvisions 2006 conference in Portland, OR later this month. You can read about it here.
