Said on NN/G UX Podcast

“There was a whole theme a few years ago about 'everyone's a designer', and I think that did a disservice to the UX industry. I always counter with: everyone can do math, but not everyone's an accountant. Make design participatory, but don't give up the decision-making authority that UXers have.” — Tanya Snook, NN/G UX Podcast

“If you had six people in a room for three hours, did you generate 18 productive hours of work? Because that's what you just substituted. Can you design your sessions so people feel they contributed, but also generate a significant amount of value for the project?” — Tanya Snook, NN/G UX Podcast
