Short Bio

Desirée Sy was one of the earliest user experience advocates for Agile UCD. In 2002 at Alias (now Autodesk), she was one of the UX team members who shaped the Agile UCD methods used to design innovative 2D and 3D graphics software. She’s presented, taught, discussed, and written about this and other UX work at UPA, CHI, and in the May 2007 issue of the Journal of Usability Studies (http://upassoc.org/upa_publications/jus/2007may/agile-ucd.html).

Today, she thinks that practicing user-centered design is more powerful in an Agile environment than in a traditional “waterfall” framework.
