Elizabeth is a researcher and user experience consultant based in the United Kingdom. She is in the final year of a PhD program in Media and Communication Design at Northumbria University, a three-year excursion into academia after more than 35 years in industry, and she plans to return to consulting practice in the autumn.

Elizabeth has conducted user research and interaction design for projects in the US, the UK, and Italy and has focused on government systems (with a few non-profit and commercial systems thrown in for good measure). Her government projects have ranged from public websites to internal social media web apps to touchscreen kiosks to spacecraft control centers; their user populations have ranged from the worldwide general public to the astronauts on board the International Space Station.

Elizabeth is the co-editor, with Dianne Murray, of Usability in Government Systems: User Experience Design for Citizens and Public Servants, the only book that addresses the intersection of UX and government systems.

Zahida is a UX Architect who just quit her job without knowing where she will work next.

She has worked in the web industry for 14 years and her latest jobs were building up a UX-Team in a agile development agency and implementing a continuous UX workflow in an insurance company (the most difficult job of her life).

In the future she wants to solve a problem for people who really have one e.g. in the medical industry and develop a product right from the beginning without the restrictions of grown structures.
