UIX Design for Web, Mobile and Desktop Applications
I have served as Senior UX Product Designer and Information Architect for companies like NetApp, Climacell, Hitachi, Berklee Music Online School, Type-T Interactive and others.
My core work has been long involved in the design and production of many highly visible web sites. From the first inception of Adobe online to the interactive learning systems and reponsive designs of today.
I have been heavily invested in the trends that are leaning to a mobile first approach. Understanding the usage patterns per device is critical to providing the best user experience for end users.
I am a senior user experience software product designer. I attended Berklee College of Music for a four year run. Although I attended the graduation ceremony with my peers, I still have a guitar lab waiting for me to finish in order to get the paper degree. Been busy - plan on finishing at some point.
My passion stems from great design and found myself making a natural, transition from music to UIX design. I have had a long and successful career in the design and production of web and mobile properties for companies like:
I got my feet wet at SIG (Strategic Interactive Group) now Digitas where I worked with many high end clients like Adobe, Disney, IBM FedEx, and AT&T
Since then I have performed at a Senior UIX Designer and Creative Director level to design and produce great products for end users. I seek to work on both large and small projects that offer a continued level of challenge and interest in the area of UIX design and production.
