Where do great ideas come from?
At Adaptive Path, our ideas are driven by the work we do. We do consulting for user interface and user experience design, and offer conferences, training and education for UX designers.
From field ethnography, UI wireframes and task flows, to visual design and implementation, we do it and we teach it.
