Quick Introduction

Hello, I'm an Experience Optimizer (XO) working in the field since January 1995 and I research, design, develop, analyze, and deliver innovative branding strategies and interactive user interfaces in a time efficient manner. I do these because our lifetimes are limited and the more I can save it, the more time we have to work, play and live.

Project Methodology

“Good design begins with honesty, asks tough questions, comes from collaboration and from trusting your intuition.” - Freeman Thomas.

Experience Design (XD) is driven by consideration of the moments of engagement, or touchpoints, between people and brands, and the ideas, emotions, and memories that these moments create. My mission is to identify existing touchpoints and create new ones, and then to score the arrangement of these touchpoints so that they produce the desired outcome - valuable and positive experiences. In order to create valuable experiences, the design process begins with Research to understand these three aspects using all available resources:

• End Users - What do they need, use and like? In which context will they use the product or service?
• Businesses - What is their strategy? Who are the stakeholders? What is the budget and what does the planning look like?
• Technology - What are the possibilities and constraints of interactive technology?

To make sure that the final product does indeed meet the users needs and create value, a solid understanding of interactive technology and the needs of users are essential when meeting them with the business objectives for the products and services. These can be, for example, logos, brands, websites, blogs, mobile devices, applications, interactive CDs, games, widgets, ATMs, kiosks, marketing, advertising and virtually anything that interacts with your end-users. With this at hand, continuous refinement with feedback is key to success.
