Part III is out of my sit down with my friend and research design extraordinaire, Nikki Lavoie (and overall inspirational BOSS). She is founder and CEO of MindSpark International and the UX(r) Factor vlog.

Part II in case you missed it is here, though it is ok to jump to this part. Part III focuses on: Agile applied to smaller brands, what in the heck I do as a coach and how qualitative UX research can help my clients (or anyone).
