Who I am: I'm a challenge-seeking system builder. I've spent the last eight years creating great user experiences across games, televisions, mobile apps and devices. I thrive when I can get my hands dirty with engineers and researchers to understand the guts of what we're building together. What I love to do: - Get the whole team involved and thinking about users. - Run surprisingly fun and constructive brainstorms where new ideas are born. - Make sound decisions about information architecture and conceptual models. - Wireframe and detail out specific interface behaviors. - Create fast prototypes of promising ideas. - Come up with great questions to ask users and ways to get good answers. - Spot problems long in advance to save time and conserve resources. - Invent new ways of communicating UX ideas and building consensus.
