Let’s embark on our next product adventure together!With over 25 years in User Experience and Software Development, I am your compass in the journey of creating solutions that empower and delight users.My goal is to use scientific, evidence-based methods to create quality products addressing real user needs resulting in loyalty, profitability and exceptional customer satisfaction.One of my key strengths is in my ability to demystify complex technical concepts, making them comprehensible to individuals at all levels. Whether it’s a small team setting or a public forum, I engage with my audience in a manner that’s fitting to the context, fostering collaboration, facilitating communication, and fostering team synergy. One thing I have learned about myself is that I am energized when I am creating or building something. Outside of work I get my outlet building my home theater and in board game design. Both of these hobbies give me opportunities to connect socially and engage with others.Board game design is one of the most interesting applications of user experience design. It concentrates on the creative task of abstracting a concept into gameplay mechanisms with the goal of creating fun and enjoyment, all packaged up neatly into a box. I have had the unique experience of not only designing my own games, but of being a founding member of the Game Artisans of Canada. Some of our members have had great success, and it has been the source of much joy for me to play their published games with family and friends.In the workplace my focus is to understand the users, explore the possibilities and use technology appropriate to the task, even if it pushes me out of my comfort zone. I believe that this is one of my core strengths, to not only help build things the right way, but also ensure that we are building the right thing. My goal is to use scientific, evidence-based methods to build quality products which will ultimately delight the users.Allow me to help guide you from your current position towards your desired destination.
