I work most of the time for Flow Interactive, a user experience design, research and strategy consultancy based in London. But I live most of the time in Cape Town, South Africa. There's big demand for user experience design here and I'm doing what I can to meet it. If you're a South African who's interested in UX, please drop me a line.
I have a degree in computer science and a masters in communications.

I've been HTMLer and producer and techical manager on various websites during the '90s - for TV Guide, in the states, and for the BBC and lastminute.com in the UK. But I tended to be disappointed by the results, until I cottoned on to the idea that you need to involve your target users in the design process.

I've been consulting in user experience since 1999, when I joined Flow. I've designed all sorts of user experiences and worked with hundreds of users in the process. I've worked with plenty of dfferent client organisations too.
