I believe I’m one of those newfangled semantic web designers you hear so much about (or maybe not) and I’ve been told I’m a user interface rock star. I’m just as obsessed with the end user experience as I am with the technology behind it. I wrote my own PHP/MySQL application website framework which has been adapted to drive nearly all 20+ of my company’s business websites.
I try my best to bridge the gap between programmers and end users while playing the diplomat to project stakeholders (like my bosses) and investors.
My Specialities and Beliefs
- Solving problems
- Making people’s lives easier with I.T.
- User and goal focused design through analytical and simple English
- LAMP application development
- Agile and “Getting Real” style of project management
- Building engaging user interfaces and user experience (my applications are still being used today and no death threats yet—should stand for something)
- Branding, identity and direction (like every other bloody designer on the planet)
- Learning and understanding technical acronyms and explaining them to my parents
- Building LEGO and keeping them for my two kids
