In terms of projectsÂ… I have enjoyed solving user experience and design challenges in: ★ ★ ★ ★ Social networking Web Apps Interactive TV CRM software ★ ★ ★ ★ Search 3G mobile services Financial tools Retail e-commerce ★ ★ ★ ★ Brand Identity Web presence Marketing Advertising ★ ★ ★ ★ 3D animation Industrial design Widgets/Toolbars Office Productivity I truly feel impassioned about the discipline of UX architecture, and take delight in adopting the end-to-end viewpoint when meeting complex UI-driven initiatives, especially if they are supported by the larger concept of brand experience and have technology constraints against to which stir-out a solution. Defining overarching themes and cross-functional benefits among interlinked services are my specialty My schooling in both Industrial Design and Fine Arts (two Bachelor degrees from RISD) plus former studies in Architecture, make me quite comfortable on the convergence of front-end technologies (hardware or software). I am able to see the potential on apparently disconnected solutions (new or old) and apply their fusion of benefits to any given problem. My approach is very hands-on, maintaining myself sharp on the trends, techniques, tools and technologies of the trade, and using such knowledge to anticipate changes and future ramifications in the industry.
