A good interface design answers questions and solves problems. What are the day to day experiences of the user that the design seeks to improve? What do they really need and how can the interface help deliver that?
In most cases the user experience happens around multiple devices and environments. Designing an interface that is flexible and able to be carried over these is now essential.
Good standards compliant code is like good grammar, it's about being able to be understood more often. Different browsers, devices, platforms, and various CMS's can be far better read and translated across all these mediums when coded correctly.
I've worked across many areas of digital, including creative, marketing and web development. I specialise in User Interface Design and User Experience, as well as Front End development. I've worked with many top tier organisations such as Volkswagen, Getty Images, Lend Lease, Orica, AMP, Universal, and Starwood Hotels. I hold a Masters of Design Digital Media (Interaction Design and Usability), a Bachelor of Education and a Bachelor of Arts (Visual).
