In this episode we chat at length with Rodney Guzman from Interknowlogy about the concepts, practice, and value of Interaction Design. Rodney explains the process of Interaction Design, how it differs from traditional approaches to UI/UX design processes, and offers some concrete examples of how Interaction Design has enabled him to solve real-world problems for a myriad of Interknowlogy’s customers. We also dig into understanding the core value proposition for Interaction Design as well as exploring the various ways to best position that value proposition to your own customers to get them similarly excited about the possibilities.
