The annual cycle for Corvus Consulting seems to put me in front of new clients in the summer months. Even after seven years this kind of surprises me: isn’t this when people would take it easy on new work? From that it follows that it’s also the time of year where I find myself explaining what I do.
Two topics come up regularly in these conversations: why I call what I do “experience design” over “user experience design,” and the struggle for a succinct definition of just what experience design is.
The answers seem ripe for not one but two blog posts, and this is the first: why I shy from “user experience” (or user-anything for that matter).
