Richard Marsh

I’m an Interface Designer, and User Experience Consultant with a passion for all things to do with design especially where people and technology meet. A passion that goes backto my early forays with computers such; ZX80 Sinclair, ZX Spectrum, Commodore Amiga, 086, 286, Photon Paint, Dulux Paint, Pascal, and when 9600 Baud rate modems were considered magic – and also from my early & healthy obsession with computer games and the games industry to the heady pioneering days of the web from 1997 onwards.

Now with a great deal of experience gained from working across agency and enterprise projects since 1997, focusing on predominantly web based solutions using both html and rich media technologies, but also desktop, mobile, and iTV platforms delivery hugely varied applications for many clients in many sectors. From feature rich financial CRMs & data center asset management solutions to marketing lead social solutions for automotive, telecom, health care, and entertainment sectors.

Forever fascinated by the potential of what we can and could do, and the challenges we face in doing them both in business cultures and social cultures, I continue to look at how we can learn to do things better.

Primary expertise;

• Implementing User Centric Design practices within multi disciplinary teams in Agile, Lean and Waterfall environments.
• Researching and conceptualising new software and technology platforms.
• Interaction design
• Information architecture
• Interface design

Areas of interest

I am fascinated with how we interact with and think about software, and its valuable role within our everyday lives, to which my key areas of interest are;

• Innovations in technology, and technologies impact on business models
• Design thinking and design process
• Human Computer Interaction : fundamentals
• Social and behavioural research
• Using group & social applications to maximise the collective value of people

And as my blog title suggests, I am always looking at how we can improve the way we design, and how we communicate and measure design effectiveness
