About

I am a professional Interactive Designer with experience in User Interface Design. I am involved in all stages of the online process beginning with the Information Architecture, continuing to the Interaction Design, and managing engineering teams to carry out these designs, and sometimes carrying out designs myself. I have a strong belief in a highly interactive, iterative, and multidisciplinary design process including task analysis, focus groups, storyboarding, and prototyping. I am successful at combining the best of agile approaches for timely delivery with a strategic perspective. The goal is an implementable, usable, and supportable design solution that pushes the envelope of functionality and innovation.
