Offering great customer experiences is growing increasingly important as consumers have more and more brands to choose from. Our Senior UX Designer Phil Fernandez was interviewed by Little Black Book (LBB) alongside other experts in their recent article, “Why Great UX Should Surprise and Delight.” 

Phil focuses on why it can be risky to subvert user’s expectations and recommends instead focusing on delightful experiences that are grounded in research the whole way through.

Check out his recommendations on Little Black Book Online.
