DigitalWeb Mag have published an interview with Jeffrey Veen following his Keynote speech from the WebVisions 2003 conference in the US.
Jeffrey Veen, a partner of Adaptive Path a User Experience company in the US and the author of The Art and Science of Web Design (which I bought way back in 2001), discusses ways that designers can innovate within the current economic climate. Although the interview is US centric it is a valuable read even for designers here in Australia.
