Session abstract

As designers, we find ourselves in a position to inspire, celebrate and create value. The opportunities and challenges we face are new and exciting. The tools we have at our disposal are powerful and abundant. The communities we’ve forged and the ideas that flow openly are all indicators of a shift in our industry. We’ll discuss examples of all this and how we can continue to push forward.

About our speaker

Initially a print and web designer, he moved into information architecture and interaction design to promote holistic user experiences to corporate clients. Andrew has 12 years of design, technical and strategic experience.

Before joining Adaptive Path, Andrew managed the web and user experience team at Princess Cruises. This gave him the opportunity to lead the development of an entirely new online booking system, e-ticket solution and oversee online branding and marketing initiatives. Prior to that, he worked with element18 and Interfocus Advertising in Los Angeles.

Continually obsessed with the latest technologies in the mobile and gaming space, Andrew has been involved with advising on Palm and Windows Mobile applications, social networking and collaboration software. He is an advocate of ubiquitous computing, and approaches projects with a desire to ensure that the experience of the device fits into the overall product strategy.
