These tools aren’t hard to learn or even tough to implement but they are also not part of many people’s education. Information Architecture is a practice of making sense. A set of principles, lessons and tools to help anyone make sense of anything. Whether you are – a student or professional, a designer, technologist or small business owner, an intern or executive – learn how information architecture can help you make sense of your next endeavor.</p> <p>Abby will have copies of her book, How to Make Sense of Any Mess, for sale during our event.</p> <h3>Our Presenter, Abby Covert</h3> <p>Abby Covert is an independent information architect. She specializes in delivering a collaborative information architecture process and teaching those that she works with along the way. She speaks and writes under the pseudonym Abby the IA, focusing on sharing information architecture content with those working within the design and technology communities.</p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/Abby_the_IA">Follow Abby on Twitter</a>.</p> <h3>Our venue, FINE</h3> <p>Thanks to <a href="http://www.wearefine.com/">FINE</a> for hosting us this month!
