HCI Consultants
The consultants listed below are user interface designers and usability professionals I personally recommend. I have worked directly with each of them. They are listed in alphabetical order by business name. All are located in the USA.
(For information on other HCI consultants around the world, click the Worldwide Consultants List maintained by Mikael Ericsson. Many names on his lists I do not know and I therefore make no personal recommendations.)
