Skillset Overview

UX Design & UI Design?

User experience design (UX) is the process of enhancing user satisfaction by improving the usability, accessibility, and pleasure provided in the interaction between a user and a (digital) product.

User interface design (UI) is the design of interfaces for machines and software, such as computers, mobile devices, and other electronic devices, with the focus on maximizing usability and the user experience.

More about me...

I work on Digital Product Design, encompassing User Experience/User Interface design, application and interaction design - for software, touchscreens, apps, web products. I try to see things from the point of view of the user and from the point of view of a business.

Currently I work principally on interactive digital products with boundaryIO. In the past have specialised in large format interactive design pieces for advertising which involved print design, animation work, sound design, interactive design and various technologies.

I have 5 years experience as a senior lead user experience web designer at a kids online social gaming network that has 50 million registered users; my role being to design and prototype web & mobile products and features to be enjoyed by the large audience base, and to guide these products through the development process.

In 2014 I was commissioned to design and produce three interactive applications for Glasgow Science Centre - http://www.glasgowsciencecentre.org/whats-here/my-wow.html | My work

Prior to this I worked on motomedia-uk.com which hinged on the idea of converting empty shop units into advertisements, particularly focusing on shop window displays and through-glass interaction. It was developed over 2006 and presented to the advertising industry at a London trade show in early 2007. The idea caught the imagination of the outdoor advertising buyers who labelled it the first new thing in the industry in 30 years.

From this I developed and produced advertising campaigns for clients such as the BBC, SonyBMG, the Chemical Brothers, ITV, Heineken, SKY, A&E TV (US) and Remy Martin (US) which required conceptual design, animation design, graphic design, sound design and the implemetation of various technologies including live internet monitoring, Bluetooth, interactive camera systems, touch and motion sensing and other interactive design elements.

In 2008 Motomedia was awarded the Scottish Media Award for Innovation. In 2009 the credit crunch happened.

I have a thorough understanding of multi-channel projects that are both creative and technical and I can source and manage a creative team if required.

I play guitar and work on music production in my spare time. I have some free music tracks here.
