I spoke last night, with Gabe Zentall of CarbonIQ, at the IA/UE Cocktail hour. We had a very informal discussion comparing and contrasting aspect of IA/UI from an inhouse versus consultant (innie/outie) perspective. It was very interesting and the larger group participated in the discussion in a lively way. I learned a few things and was glad to see that my experiences were not unique. Read some of our observations and attendee comments.

The Cocktail hour was hosted by Method. They have a terrific space and in scoping out their web site, I discovered they have some interesting Case Studies from their work.

I am happy to see CarbonIQ also has started sharing case studies. Communication Arts, Design Interact features section regularly showcases a firm, project and solution as well. This months is on HaringKIDS.com.

I think that there needs to be more of this solution sharing in our industry and am working on adapting my own portfolio to this model. Do you know of other good sites that have descriptive case studies of their work?
