"Thanks very much to you and your team for the UX session yesterday, Tim and I found it very useful. We’ll be using the input and methodologies that you shared in re-evaluating our current navigation structures in order to best serve user and business goals on mobile as well as desktop platforms...
Glad the Top Pot doughnuts found such an appreciative audience - I certainly felt that we got our money’s worth and they beat the heck out of paying with BitCoin..."

"Both I and the rest of the UW Internal Communications team really appreciate your [UX and Assessment teams'] thoughtful, collaborative approach in helping us think through some of the key issues and questions we needed to solve in designing the newsletter and consolidating six different publications from three organizations into a coherent, appealing and easy-to-read format on a very tight timeline. Your guidance, help and support in designing the contextual inquiries was invaluable. The input we received helped us make essential decisions and guide our final design.
We cannot thank you enough for the time, effort and thought you put into providing us with such great advice and support. While we will continue to refine the newsletter based upon user input, our project would not have been nearly as successful without your help."
