Biography:

She is co-author of “Forms that work: Designing web forms for usability” and 'User Interface Design and Evaluation' and is working on “Surveys that work” (to be published by Rosenfeld Media in 2014)As she’s been researching the ‘Surveys’ book, she’s become convinced that surveys are an underused method in user experience – possibly because so many of us encounter surveys that could be a lot better.
