There has been a lot of discussion over the years about what exactly information architecture is. These "Defining The Damned Thing (DTDT)" conversations have been primarily around the What, rather than the Who. But who are these people? Where do they come from? And why? I am collecting IA "stories" and will be posting them in an extended deck soon. If you are an IA and want to share your story, please contact me at gail@gl-ue.com. This presentation was part of the Refresh Events (http://www.refresh-events.ca/) speaker series in Toronto.
