UX Design: More Than Just Making Things Easy with Andy Silvestri

The secret to good UX design goes beyond slick applications and impressive functionality. While those things are definitely important, HatchWorks’ Director of Product Design, Andy Silvestri, likes to think of UX design as user enablement.
