About this site
jarango.com is the personal playground of Jorge Arango, an information architect and user experience designer. I’ve been producing digital experiences (primarily websites) since 1995, and have been an active participant in the global IA/UX community since 2000. I currently reside in the Republic of Panama.
This site is a notebook where I work out half-baked ideas, primarily about (but not limited to) IA and UX design. I hope it’s of interest to someone else, but that isn’t the driving factor. I post infrequently.
My career in a nutshell
- I founded BootStudio, the first IA/UX consultancy in Central America.
- I’ve served as advisor, director, and president of The Information Architecture Institute.
- I’ve served as the managing editor of Boxes and Arrows, an online magazine about design.
- I’ve organized various professional events and seminars. Most recently, I was the program chair of the 2008 IDEA conference.
