Quote from Dr. Gartner’s Letter of Recommendation

 I found Mr. [ Steven ] Heitman’s knowledge base about information architecture and user-centered design to be deeper than the others with whom I chatted concerning my needs. Mr. Heitman is quite detail oriented. His knowledge of usability testing would make him an asset to other employers.
