Biography:
Dan Willis has stumbled his way through high-profile media and interactive organizations for more than 20 years. He has a proven track record of being wildly under qualified for his many promotions and for being neither a round nor a square peg within organizations with holes built for one or the other.
Currently a user experience consultant for Sapient, Willis was washingtonpost.com’s first User Experience Director and had the same title at PBS.org.
Willis has been launching robust Web sites since the mid 1990s. He has designed and coded major sites; designed, facilitated, and analyzed usability testing; and managed design, IA, and Web analytics resources.
He is the creator of UX Crank (www.uxcrank.com), a highly opinionated resource for UX professionals. He founded the Cranky Talk Workshop for New Speakers.
