I’m the UX + Tech Director at iQmultimedia; I work mostly on touch-screen kiosk systems for the mining industry.

My background is in graphic design, but I've spent some time as a professional web developer. I'm also a massive typography nerd.

You should follow me on Twitter and check out my usability presentation at Speaker Deck and on YouTube.
