How I can help you...
Interaction design (web & software)
Streamlined process flows and intuitive interfaces are core for online success. If you frustrate a user through bad user experience, there's no second chance and they are likely to take their business elsewhere.
I have over 6 years experience in designing complex user interaction interfaces for NZ’s largest and most successful website Trade Me. I can help you take a complex process and make it simple, intuitive and inviting for your users - whether it's consultation on improvements for an existing or new design, or fully designing a front end.
Good design is not only reliant on strong layout and hierarchy of information, but also an appropriate treatment of type for the targeted audience and medium. I can help you with design for brochures, posters, flyers, logos and more. Feel free to contact me regarding your project requirements.
A little about me...
Hello, I’m Tim, a user interaction designer based in Wellington New Zealand.
I began my design life in graphic design then became fascinated with the internet and how easily people could communicate and interact with one another – in real time.
Moving to online based design has enabled me to employ my multi-discipline design skills in graphic design, typography, photography, and the art of persuasion.
Like all design, interaction design is a form of communication. However it’s not solely ones interpretation to the aesthetics, though that is important, interaction design connects people with technology, guiding them through and communicating specific tasks at hand. My overlying philosophy is an interface done well should go almost unnoticed.
One of the beauties of the online space is that everything is measurable and easily changeable. In a matter of hours one can evaluate results of how effective a particular design implementation is (or running several variations at one time) and can quickly put together changes/tweaks if required. There is something strangely satisfying putting two designs up against each other, viewing the results and deciding a winner.
With working for Trade Me for the last 6 years, my interface designs have been used by well over half the Kiwi population. Unlike straight graphic design, interface design can have a little more responsibility tied to it. People interact with these designs day to day and in some cases (i.e. Trade Me) their lives revolve around it. It’s quite incredible how a tiny change can save someone hours of accumulated time, making their lives easier and enjoyable.
Say hello...
