Jesse James Garrett at the Web 2.0 Konferenz 2007

Jesse James Garrett is an experience designer, known for having coined the term Ajax.

Jesse is the founder of Adaptive Path, a user experience strategy and design firm, and co-founded the Information Architecture Institute. His essays have appeared in New Architect[1], Boxes and Arrows[2], and Digital Web Magazine[3]. Jesse attended the University of Florida.

Garrett authored The Elements of User Experience, a conceptual model of user-centered design first published as a diagram in 2000 and later as a book in 2002[4]. Although originally intended for use in web design, the Elements model has since been adopted in other fields such as software development and industrial design[5]. He also created the first[citation needed] standardized notation for interaction design, known as the Visual Vocabulary[6].

Garrett's self-published works include ia/recon[7], an essay on the evolution of the information architecture field, and The Nine Pillars of Successful Web Teams[8], a conceptual model similar to Elements for team structures and processes. Garrett coined the term Ajax in February 2005[9]. Garrett thought of the term[10] when he realized the need for a shorthand term to represent the suite of technologies he was proposing to a client.

In May, 2006 Garrett was awarded Wired Magazine's Rave Award[11] in the field of technology.
