Me: trained industrial designer, practicising interaction designer*, aspiring design researcher.I have a degree in product design, a Masters in interaction design, and even a ATCL in flute performance (I’m sure that will come in useful one day!).
My first so-called job as a primary school student was earning my pocket money winning colouring competitions, which has led to my current so-called (as in "we get paid to do this"?)as an interaction designer at product development consultancy Locus Research. In the past I’ve worked as a design researcher, freelance flash designer and jellybean packer (after an hour the novelty wears off, believe me!)
As of February 2010 I've been the acting chief kahuna of online interaction magazine Johnny Holland (while the other kahunas respectively adjust to life as new fathers).
I don't seem to have much spare time but with what I do I try to stay head along (and often live-tweet) from events such as UX Bookclub, Webmeetup, Girl Geek Dinners and Design Assembly.
