New in New York
June 9th, 2010 | Published in Interaction design, Uncategorized
As you may have noticed in my LinkedIn profile or my Twitter feed, I’ve moved from Toronto to the Big Apple (is it totally 80′s to use that name?) and picked up a new job as Interaction Design Director at R/GA.
This opportunity was offered to me quite a while ago, and it took some time to make up my mind and then get all the paperwork ready. Though I was a bit sad to leave Toronto, which I had called home for almost three years, everything here feels great so far and I’m happy to have made the move. I’m still pulling things out of boxes at the same time as I’m getting up to speed at work, so it may be a couple more days/weeks until I get to update the blog again, but stay tuned – I’ve been meaning to start writing my UX Lx recap, and have a couple other ideas for posts as well.

About the author
I have over a decade of experience working in digital media, advertising, and digital and social product design first as graphic designer and art director, and then as concept designer - a role very similar to a creative director, but with a stronger focus on user experience design and marketing strategy. I've also worked as project manager, managing projects for clients like Nokia, the world's largest manufacturer of mobile phones. I have gained experience in three different countries on three different continents: Finland, The United Arab Emirates, and Canada. Currently, I work as a Senior Experience Architect at Organic, Inc in Toronto, Canada. I work together with other strategists, creative directors, writers, designers and developers to create experiences that deliver exceptional value to clients and their customers.
