SonyEricsson - mobile UI designer

I initially worked for SonyEricsson on placement whilst completing my Research Masters dissertation 'Design and Evaluation of Presence awareness for mobile interface'.

I then worked as an employee within the usability department carrying out small research projects which resulted in changes being made to improve the user experience of various applications.

I then moved to the UI department where i worked as an interaction designer. I worked collaboratively with Systems Analysis, development, testers, usability and graphic designers to produce the optimal user experience on a number of SMART phone applications.

I was responsible for feeding into requirements, translating use cases into early user journey flows using Visio and then into detailed wireframes using Photoshop.

I was also often central point of essential communication between all of the disciplines I worked with.

W950 I was lead interaction designer on Walkman 2.0 application and the Sound Recorder.
W960 I was lead designer on the Walkman 3.0 application, PlayNow Media downloads application, Video and Media Centre Fundamentals. Whilst working at SonyEricsson i was lead user experience designer for the Walkman application on the W950 smartphone. This involved translating requirements and use cases into detailed wire frames mapping out the various user journeys and UI flows as well as writing a very detailed 280 page specification detailing all UI behaviours. I was involved in this project from early requirements gathering, attending workshops with requirements analysts and feeding in creative ideas and results from my own user research. I also worked closely with the development team who implemented the UI and with the graphical designers who were responsible for the overall look and feel of the application.
P910 I was interaction designer on the Music player application and PlayNow media downloads.
P900 I was interaction designer on Music Player application, Cell broadcast, internet settings and parts of the Browser UI.
P800 I was researcher and Usability specialist working on applications such as the Camera and Instant messaging.
