I'm delighted to have you with me for another cracking episode this time with Leon Barnard, co-author of the brand spanking new book on A Book Apart, called Wireframing for Everyone.

Leon, Michael and Bill all work for one of my absolute favourite UX businesses, Balsamiq. A wire framing tool that when it came out in 2008, was revolutionary. It reduced the exclusivity around the capability of wire framing, and made it accessible overnight to teams and non-designers. It increased the quality of communication, it reduced meetings, it sped things up and enabled better outcomes for teams working in the product space. It wasn’t perfect, it wasn’t sexy, but it was powerful. 

In this conversation, we chat about the self-imposed restrictions on the product, still owned by the original founder, Giacomo (Peldi) Guilizzoni who I can vividly remember answering my support tickets in the early days of the business, and it’s awesome to see and hear what the culture is like within the business.
