Jamie Godin . UX Specialist/Visual Designer

I'd like to give you some background on myself, and on my experience

over the last 17 years in the UX and creative design industry.

Throughout my career I've had the great pleasure of working with a wide

variety of clients, ranging from large corporate clients to small local

entrepreneurs. This range of clientele, and the diversity of work has

allowed me to develop my talents in visual design, to refine my skill-set,

and has fuelled a specialty of UX and interface design.

I have extensive experience creating user interfaces for consumer,

enterprise, web and mobile applications. I also have experience working

on all on aspects of GUI design, from creating vector/raster icons and

transparent splash screens, to authoring of detailed product

specifications and business proposals.

I have worked as a sole designer on projects, and have managed/worked

with designers and developers on both sides of any given project.

My approach is user-centric; I seek to understand the root of any

problem, then create viable solutions that help solve the user's needs.

In my work I'm always aware of the need to balance business and

marketing requirements, as well as the programming and time

constraints of a project.

Over the last 10 years, I have worked on many Flash-based projects. My

process is one that delivers-on (and usually exceeds) all client

expectations. Designing is a passion for me, and I am meticulous

conscientious, organized, motivated and dependable.

I am highly proficient in the majority of the Adobe Creative Suite software

programs, and am looking to expand my skill-set further, with Catalyst

and Fireworks.

Please find attached a copy of my CV.

I look forward to hearing back from you, at your convenience.

Sincerely
