UX Design Edge

We knew we had a challenge with our current web-based business system because training alone takes about 6-10 hours per employee. During his onsite UX Design Essentials Workshop, Everett was able to break down our current program, identify its weaknesses, and educate us on how we can make it more intuitive. We couldn’t be happier with the insightful training he provided our team in the short timeframe. I have the utmost confidence that during our rewrite of the program, we will be able to make it easier and reduce the training time greatly.

I came to this workshop with very little knowledge of user interfaces; I basically though I knew what “I liked” but didn’t have any guidelines to what good UI design elements consisted of. Our company is starting to rewrite our CRM and we needed a better understanding of UI design before we got started. Our old design was functional but our users needed extensive training for them to utilize all the features our CRM provided. UX Design Essentials Workshop couldn’t have come at a better time for our team; we’re now on the same page and our design principles are consistent. Everett, thank you!

Everett was a true pleasure to work with. I set out in search of a training course that would teach myself and the designers I work with to better understand the user’s experience. After speaking with other companies that have strict programs, I was thankful to find Everett. He tailored his UX Design Essentials Workshop presentation and exercises to exactly what we needed.

Overall, the training course was extremely helpful and I would recommend UX Design Edge to anyone out there.

I wanted an expert to teach my team UX design "by doing" and immediately applying to our site. Everett was the perfect trainer for the job. He took the time before the training to meet with us to really understand the site and our needs. He came in prepared with case studies of our site and used them to reinforce UX concepts. I highly recommend him to other organizations looking to learn UX through a hands-on, pragmatic approach.

At our request, Everett took a three day class (UX Design Essentials) and distilled it down into an enlightening and comprehensive one day class for our entire software engineering team. As company founder and president I had expected to sit in only for the first hour or two to get the flavor of the class. I found myself staying for the entire day and found every minute valuable and insightful.

Not only was his ability to document, advocate, and make great decisions about UX, Everett had a great style of managing without managing. Helping and training people from so many different groups at so many different levels has a style all its own, and Everett was fantastic at it. I would recommend talking to Everett about any task that required strong User Experience, training, or customer knowledge.

Everett was a very prominent figure in User Experience at Microsoft. He is the father of the Windows User Experience Guidelines for the entire company. He was one of the very few that were technically talented and also very knowledgeable about User Experience.

Everett's deep understanding of UX principles comes from years of experience. He is one of the few individuals I know with both a rich understanding of the history of UX and an insight into future UX directions. It is this skill set that allows Everett to find elegant solutions to complex problems. I highly recommend Everett to any team looking to create better user experiences with their products or services.

Any time there was a question when a team needed a final word on what controls to use or how to implement a feature within the software we were building, Everett was always there to help us brainstorm, iterate and figure out the most effective solution for our needs.
