Design Philosophy

I advocate and practice customer-focused design meaning that I believe insight and

knowledge of customer behavior and goals can help focus design efforts to the most ef cient

process and successful product.

As well as understanding customers, I'm also a rm believer of understanding the medium

used to implement designs both so that realistic and pragmatic designs can be achieved, and

so that I know what can potentially be achieved by that technology. As a result I'm con dant in

HTML, CSS and learning basic iOS interface development.

My most challenging (and rewarding) projects to date have been projects that involve cross-

channel design (for example designing experiences that cross between digital and physical

touch points.)

Mobile

At Monster I was the lead designer in the redesign of existing iPhone, iPad and Andriod

apps. I also started high level design on their mobile-web strategy before it was placed on

hold.

Currently I'm the lead designer for a start up focused in the retail-social space.

Complex Interaction Flows

For Air New Zealand I was responsible for designing complex booking ows that represent 4

billion of online revenue.

Pattern Libraries

Pattern libraries are important in creating a consistent and usable user experience, and also

allow for faster design and development cycles. At Datacom I created a pattern library for the

local government services team and at Monster I contributed new patterns to an already

established library.

Globalisation/Internationalization

Working for Air New Zealand I was responsible for creating designs that were appropriate for

19 global storefronts with 9 different languages including key markets in China and Japan.

At Monster I was the lead designer for the incorporation of chinahr.com (a recent aquisition)

into the Monster design framework.
