Jesse James Garrett is a user experience designer whose work in rich, real-time Web software systems essentially led to the development of new paradigm in online interactivity known as AJAX. James' seminal, early-2005 paper on the subject has been widely cited and extended by information technologists to create new models of information presentation on the Web, such as Google Maps.[1]

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.[2]
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[3], Boxes and Arrows[4], and Digital Web Magazine[5]. 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[6]. 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[7]. He also created the first[citation needed] standardized notation for interaction design, known as the Visual Vocabulary[8].
Garrett's self-published works include ia/recon[9], an essay on the evolution of the information architecture field, and The Nine Pillars of Successful Web Teams[10], a conceptual model similar to Elements for team structures and processes. Garrett coined the term AJAX in February 2005[11]. Garrett thought of the term[1] when he realized the need for a shorthand term to represent the suite of technologies he was proposing to a client.
Awards
In May, 2006 Garrett was awarded Wired Magazine's Rave Award[12] in the field of technology.
Personal life
Jesse James Garrett is married to Rebecca Blood.
