Bonnie Maclean is one of the few important women in the world of design who you have probably actually heard of due to her famous concert posters.

Donald Norman, a cognitive scientist, joined the team at Apple in the early 90s as their User Experience Architect-making him the first person to have UX in his job title. He came up with the term "user experience design" as a way of encompassing all that UX is. As he explains, "I invented the term because I thought human interface and usability were too narrow: I wanted to cover all aspects of the person's experience with a system, including industrial design, graphics, the interface, the physical interaction, and the manual."
