Speakers For Dev East Halifax Meeting July 14, 2009
UX & U
Russell Smith, Usability Specialist & Interaction Designer
As a Usability Specialist, Russell champions the user experience throughout the development process by consistently communicating and architecting research and design solutions that align with user, business and technical goals.
He has worked with T4G Limited for over eight years focused primarily on content delivery, design and front end development in the retail, telecommunications and utilities sectors. Over the past 4 years, Russell has gained skills and experience specifically in the evaluation and architecting of information and design, most recently with New Brunswick Tourism, New Brunswick Power, Bell Aliant and Atlantic Lottery Corporation.
A users experience can make or break the success, uptake and interest in your online application or website. This session will help to understand what UX is and how it can help create user focused applications.
