Introduction

UX designer and web developer. I also help make London Web Standards happen each month.

Which book has most influenced your thinking on UX?

It's a bit trite, but when I read The Design of Everyday Things ten years ago, it fundamentally changed the way I see the world. Everything I've read since has refined my understanding and practice of UX, but no other book has had the same impact.

Are you an innie (work inhouse) or an outie (work in an agency or freelance)?

I'm currently an innie.

What's your favourite design/UX related quote or saying?

“Always design a thing by considering it in its next larger context - a chair in a room, a room in a house, a house in an environment, an environment in a city plan.” -Eliel Saarinen

What Jeff Van Campen is saying about this Meetup Group

London UX Bookclub is one of the best events in London for usability and user experience professionals. It's a fantastic opportunity to meet and learn from your peers. We've read some fantastic books and some terrible ones, but I always come away from the bookclub having learned much more than if I'd read the book on my own.

Hi Jeff,
I'm happy to talk at this meeting about a project at Intel where I was using the experience sampling method. The project was 9 years ago but it's still relevant to a discussion on the limitations of diary studies.
Warm regards, Miriam

Great job last night, Jeff! I enjoyed both the content and presentation, and will definitely consider using "pen sketches" for future projects.

I have RSVP'd and am looking forward to my first meeting with web standards. Definitely interested in the book being discussed...think I might have to add it to my collection! Maybe see you at MiniBar on Friday, if not see you on the 14th! Lezlea :)

Think I needed to get a gentle(!?) re-introduction in to what's hot in web standards, so this seemed like a good way! Though my apparent electro-sensitivity may mean that I may just stick to being a lurker rather than an attendee of the meetups! ;-)
