For the last 2 years I've been working on the following two products on a full-time basis, doing user interface design;
Powow is the revolutionary new way for people to hold meetings with anyone, any where in the world, at any time. It’s a bespoke, online face-to-face experience that gives you the ability to share ideas in a high-quality, controlled environment that is so much better than an average video conference. Powow allows you can have an online meeting with one person or one hundred, all from your computer. It's easy to use and once you've had a powow you will never want to waste time travelling to another meeting again.
The Powow development team consisted of very talented Java, Flex, and video-compression developers. My role was to improve the user interface design, interaction accessibility, and visual appeal of Powow.
Powow's growth & evolution over the last year has gained traction and interest from many popular and big IT brands around the world, especially in Australasia.
Evidentia's dynamic and intuitive user interface design turns data into knowledge, allowing large quantity of information to be quicklytranslated via a bespoke visual language, putting your data in your hands. Similarly to Powow, my role was to design & improve the user interface design, interaction accessibility, and visual appeal of Evidentia. The biggest hurdle or challenge would be to quickly understand each unique customer business model and visually interpret it into the Evidentia Data Visualisation product and UI.
“Alex is an exceptional senior UI designer and digital designer. I was teamed with Alex on several projects where I was primarily responsible for the Business Analysis and he was creating software user interface design and artwork. He consistently produced quality outputs that fitted with the corporate guidelines and aligned perfectly with functional specifications. He generally understands business drivers extremely well, and is not afraid to seek confirmation of expected system dynamics if there is any uncertainty. His UI design flair is an extremely rare combination of art and science resulting in software user interface design that look great and can perform well for the user.
During the time we worked together he also made a huge impact on the company’s branding, giving the start-up business a much more professional look, following a theme of “Bleeding Edge Software Development”. As the company's webmaster, Alex totally revamped the look, content and refined SEO of all online marketing collateral. He also updated the templates for business documents, presentations, marketing material, etc. In addition to having excellent business and design skills, Alex has been a great team player. He eagerly participates with the other members of the team, sharing his ideas and expertise. He was always ready to jump in anywhere help was needed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Alex to any prospective employer. He would be great asset to any company.”
