Summary

I'm an information architect, user experience expert and senior digital producer with 8 years experience working for global brands like Sony, Vodafone, The Guardian and the BBC. My areas of expertise include e-commerce, web and site search, search engine optimisation and marketing, online voting, and bulk email delivery. I have also worked on product localisation, and designed the information architecture for music download stores, on both web and mobile phone platforms.

I'm an excellent communicator, regularly appearing at conferences and running seminars across Europe. I have written several articles for publication, and had my blog, currybet.net, listed in Blogstorm’s Top 100 UK Blogs. I have an expert understanding of the technical infrastructure of the web and mobile device platforms, and I am experienced in recruiting and leading multi-disciplinary teams delivering online services and web-based software applications.

Objective

I am looking for short-to-mid-term contract or project work (from 1 day to 3 months). I am currently based in London but I’m willing to travel anywhere for all, or some, of the duration of a piece of work. The skills I offer include:

Production of User Experience documentation (wireframes, user flows, information architecture, classification schemes)
User Experience documentation critique and reviews
Comparative application testing and competitor analysis reports
Expert site usability and accessibility reviews
Product development for online services and software applications
Facilitation of product design workshops
Business requirements capture
Search engine optimisation
Running training seminars on SEO and marketing, web best practice and Web 2.0 technologies

Posts of the moment

Day of the Triffids
If everyone suddenly went blind, how long would the Internet survive, and could you still publish news on it?

With professionals of this quality, who needs 'citizen journalist' enemies?
It is hard to argue that ethics and quality set the 'professional journalist' apart from the amateur blogger, if the 'professional' keeps publishing articles so wrong that they have to be deleted.
