In this show I had the great pleasure of chatting with Daniel Szuc from Apogee in Hong Kong, China.

I was introduced to Daniel at Adaptive Path’s party during UX Week, by Leah Buley and we were able to connect the other day to discuss the current and future state of User Experience in China.

Daniel just returned from User Friendly 2008 in Shenzhen, China. He shares insights and experiences from the event as well as workshops he has run in the past.

You can find photos from User Friendly 2008 on Flickr.

Daniel also shares an overview of the Usability Kit created with colleague and producer of the User Experience Podcast, Gerry Gaffney.

We refer to several articles throughout our conversation, all of which can be accessed below:
