The editors at IDSA's Innovations magazine have been kind enough to allow me to provide a digital version of an article I co-authored in the latest issue (Summer 2010).
The article, Integrating Industrial and User Interface Designers: Creating Effective Interactions, discusses the evolution of user interface methods and capabilities from the perspective of an industrial design firm. In particular, the article focuses on the key factors that determine when outside expertise is needed and when it makes sense to build-out an internal UI team - a complex equation, illustrated above.

I co-wrote the article with Mathieu Turpault, Bresslergroup's Design Director. It is an extension of the presentation of the presentation we gave at 2010's IDSA Northeast District Conference on Creating Effective User Interface & Industrial Design Teams.
