[IxDA Discuss] IxDA in flyover territory?
I'm curious as to whether people doing interaction design live in places other than Chicago or the coasts? Is this profession like music or theatre, in which living in flyover territory is a career-limiting factor.

While this topic is incredibly US-centric, I guess I'll answer it: The short answer is that if you want a midwestern lifestyle, your options decrease. But here are cities that I'm pretty sure have some good stuff going on: Cincinnati Austin Dallas St. Louis Minneapolis Detroit Pittsburgh Salt Lake City Denver/Boulder I'm sure there are more centers in the Central & Mountain Timezones (Yes, I realize that Detroit and Pittsburgh are EST). -- dave . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Yes, my apologies for the US-centric topic. I suppose that the more inclusive question would be to identify cities that are not A-list, but which have a viable usability community. Anyone in Mainz Germany? I'm going there in July. :) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of dave malouf Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2008 7:53 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [IxDA Discuss] IxDA in flyover territory?

I used to live in Columbus. There is enough going on in that city that I would add it to this list.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] IxDA in flyover territory?
I live in Minneapolis, and I can confirm that we do indeed have a thriving interactive community here. We have a few product/industrial design firms, which is probably as close as you'll get to doing pure IxD here. But we do have a number of interactive agencies & consultancies doing the whole range of UX research & design activities. These places are almost always looking for people to fill additional roles. Minneapolis is also a Northwest Airlines hub, so we're actually more fly-through territory than fly-over, really. : ) F.

Ten years ago I escaped from Silicon Valley and relocated to Albuquerque, New Mexico, from which I've successfully been practicing as a Consulting User Interface Architect. Ironically, the vast majority of my clients have been based in Silicon Valley... --Bill At 8:17 AM -0600 2/27/08, Billy Cox wrote: >I'm curious as to whether people doing interaction design live in places >other than Chicago or the coasts?
