The implications of this simple concept, however, are surprisingly complex.” • Usability.gov • “UX best practices promote improving the quality of the user’s interaction with and perceptions of your product and any related services.” • Cartoon Network • “Applying the voice of the user, focusing on behavior, know their feelings (empathy).” • User Experience Team of One by Leah Buley • “Reduce the friction between the task someone wants to accomplish and the tool that they are using to complete that task.” @BethanyMcD1 #GSMCON2016
