Matt Bailey’s Usability Podcast Series with Kim Krause Berg
Matt Bailey and I go way, way back to the early days of website design and marketing and have worked together on several big client projects. We have countless funny stories to tell. When he invited me out for a series of podcast interviews, I accepted his offer. He and my husband, Eric, are good friends too. In fact, one year we took our entire family out in our motor home and camped at the Bailey’s during a July 4th holiday. My son set their house front porch on fire by accident with a firecracker.

Empathy for the Searcher
The holistic approach is a simple concept. It says to us, “Create, develop and market with empathy for all people.” The heavens opened to me several months into my new position as a software QA usability engineer after overhearing a salesman marketing a project I knew was a wreck.
