Talks the same language
I worked with Simon at Foolproof, where he split his time between practising UX as a Principal Consultant and developing the new role of Creative Technologist within the business. Simon brought a unique technology perspective to the table, which complemented our team and helped us to expand our knowledge and build our capabilities into new areas (responsive design, front end development and emerging technologies). He built up an impressive device lab, which was used as a resource to the UX research and design teams as well as our clients.
Simon’s (still) my go-to for any geeky questions and has his finger on the pulse with what’s happening in the technology and design worlds. He’d be a great addition to any UX team looking for a well-seasoned UXer with a broad skillset who can talk the same language as your technical team.
