[edit] Early life
Jesse James Garrett grew up in Florida. He lived in Los Angeles for about five years before moving to San Francisco in 1999.[1]
[edit] Career
Jesse James Garrett is a co-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[2], Boxes and Arrows[3], and Digital Web Magazine[4]. 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[5]. 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[6]. He also created the first[citation needed] standardized notation for interaction design, known as the Visual Vocabulary[7].
Garrett's self-published works include ia/recon[8], an essay on the evolution of the information architecture field, and The Nine Pillars of Successful Web Teams[9], a conceptual model similar to Elements for team structures and processes. Garrett coined the term Ajax in February 2005[10]. Garrett thought of the term[11] 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[12] in the field of technology.
