As a designer…
I try to make simple yet highly effective products, I want to create products which are widely accessible to all types of users. When starting on a new design, my first task is basic research, then learning as much as possible about my client their target audience. Keeping it simple, I then like to explore how I can make things easier/better/time saving. Once I have a clear picture, I start writing, putting every thought down on paper, so that later I can review everything and use what is the best fit going forward. During this process, I am in constant touch with the team (if I am working in one). Stress testing ideas and asking for their feedback, then going back to base idea(s) and seeing how I tweak things based on the feedback. I love working in a team, it’s really stimulating to work with different people offering different ideas. Ideas which can potentially be combined with my own to make something totally amazing.
As just Liam…
I love the geek culture (comic books, video games and DIY technology). When I am not doing anything UX related, you will find me doing something else “geekish”. From a child, I have always been a bit of a geek, fascinated by technology and computers and playing my beloved console games. I am also a huge music lover, I’m not stuck in any specific genre but somewhere on my play lists will be some electro-pop, Brit-Pop and Hip-Hop. In my travels in the Land of “Geekishness” I am usually accompanied by a cup of tea ( milk and two sugars please ).
Well to be honest, a lot of cups of tea (1 just isn’t enough to get me through the day).
