Its Just UX
118 signatures so far! [view all signatures]
Petition created by: Richard Dalton

This ia a rallying call to support the concept and profession of "User Experience Designer". It is mainly directed at people calling themselves Information Architects and Interaction Designers, but applies equally to others involved in the creation of user experiences.

As Cennydd Bowles eloquently puts it on his blog (www.cennydd.co.uk):

"In his IA Summit 2009 closing plenary, Jesse James Garrett sounded the overdue death knell of division by job title. The information architect and the interaction designer are no more: we are all user experience designers, and we always have been. Amen."

118 have signed so far - help us get to 11,400.


We have achieved 1.04% of our goal. Let's keep going!

Details, Impact and Progress

This doesn't mean, however, that "Interaction Design" or "Information Architecture" aren't disciplines or fields. Just that they are closely related and rarely done separately.
