[Sigia-l] What makes an IA good at what he or she does?

[Eric Reiss]

What makes us different? Hopefully, because this is what we love, not
just what we do.

What makes us better? Well sometimes we aren’t


What makes us great? When we do it intuitively, not just because
we’ve learned to do it a certain way.

It’s about seeing patterns when others see confusion. It’s about
being in second grade and arranging baseball cards according to 15
criteria that did not include the name of the team. 

It’s about pushing the cognitive envelope. It’s about arranging books
by color instead of author or subject just to see the rainbow result.

It’s about cultural literacy and curiosity. It’s about knowing when
Dr. Stefan Frank and Dr. Sigmund Freud should be grouped together –
and when they shouldn’t.

The one thing it isn’t about is wireframes.

Best regards,
Eric
