dexocratic revolution - user experience architecture

dexWho is Dex?
A user experience architect in the rainy Pacific northwest who can regularly be found in various coffee shops drinking (double grande non-fat) lattes, whipping Visio into a wireframing and flowcharting frenzy while debating, discussing, and pondering the triumphs and challenges of information architecture, user interface design, usabilty and user experience in an ever-changing technology driven marketplace.
