A Conversation with Fred Beecher by Garrio Harrison

Chicago Camps interviews Fred Beecher, an Axure fanatic (and perhaps a bit of a legend), a grower of UX Designers through his UX apprenticeship program at The Nerdery in Minneapolis, and a regular contributor to the UX Design community through a variety of articles and presentations. Fred was the closing keynote for Prototype Camp 2013 and is talking to us about a whole bunch of things around prototyping and Prototype Camp.

A followup conversation with Fred Beecher answering more questions about prototyping tools and techniques, after his popular, recent Virtual Seminar on the topic.
