Description
We are often too busy to step back and take a look at our profession beyond the tasks and skills we need to perfect. Let’s head on a journey to discover what are the bits and pieces that make up IA and UX. To get there, we will go meta: Use information architecture…to create an information architecture…of information architecture. How far down the rabbit hole can we go? What will we find along the way?
What we do know is that we will reveal the underpinnings of our profession and learn new facets to expand our understanding of IA and UX.
