Designer, U/X Dude, Avid Doodler
I am a designer at heart, and get a thrill from the creative process. I enjoy being a part of a project from initial concept through all the imagining, concepting, designing and developing. I have grown to be a fan of hard boiled design and a user experience advocate, but still love putting pen and pencil down on paper and scribbling out ideas.
My thinking process. Sketches and lines, shapes and arrows, figure out the basics and make sure it makes sense.
Lay down a site flow, ask questions and think from the user's point of view. Wireframe out an intuitive site that makes both client and user happy.
Sometimes you just have to draw it out. What are the hero images going to be? How are the interfaces going to look?
Nail down the art direction, the assets and go. Build it out in a way that the developers and make it happen elegantly.
Some of the stuff I have managed to pick up on in the last 25 years.
have designed concepts through final production art using full Adobe Creative Suite.
Experience with flow charts, site maps and wireframes as well as the latest research into the most successful techniques.
From crayons to paint to pen and ink, I have been drawing since... well since I could hold a pencil.
Learning HTML, CSS and Javascript gave me a further insight into how to best design for the web and stretch the limits of what could be done.
