William Washington is a User Experience Architect at University of Washington. Colleagues describe him as "William possesses a very deep and broad understanding of user experience design. He exemplifies the kind of UX expert we all want to have as part of our team. He takes measured and thoughtful steps in approaching software design, while advocating for understanding the why, who, and "what else" (or undocumented UX requirements) behind requirement documents. His technical background allows him to dive into deep conversations about implementation details with developers. He also is able to leverage his design skills when looking at organizational process improvement, implementing process ideas that benefit the "end users" and creating documentation that succinctly and accurately captures the details of the process. His spirit is what really sets him aside. He is very eager to learn and improve his own skills and recognizes in everyone a chance to learn and to collaborate. These traits are key to who he is and the success he has seen to date. If you have a chance to work with him I heartily recommend you do so." and "William is a disciplined and insightful user experience architect. He knows the territory well, not only of human-technology interaction, but also how user experience can most effectively be positioned and perceived within a project team and a larger organization. William and I worked together for a year on the Kuali Student project. His years of experience in the field quickly made him a highly valued team member. Beyond a seasoned and highly competent practitioner, he also brings a warm, humane intelligence to his teams."
