Recently at work, I have been preparing a number of different prototypes for a usability study of one of Dell’s management consoles of physical devices (OpenManage Essentials). I came up with the different testing scenarios, the overall test script and the clickable prototypes themselves. Yet the study is to be conducted by a usability specialist from Dell’s Enterprise Design Group: “Hans”. When I met him for the fir

Much like many other visual and interaction designers out there, I was truly saddened when I saw Adobe chose not continue development of Fireworks in future releases. It’s the one piece of software I have relied on the most to create and modify graphics for the web. It has also served as my primary interactive prototyping tool at work. I haven’t quite seen a program that allows for such an easy creation o

I’ve been lucky to take a number of great shots lately through the lens of my mobile phone during the first five months of 2013. Here are (in my opinion) 10 of the best images I’ve taken (with my iPhone), edited (with a great number of photo apps) and shared (via Instagram & Flickr) so far this year:  

Every time I fly, I try to experiment with one of the many music-making apps I have on my iPad (or iPhone) during the flight. This song was created from scratch & finished during my flight between Austin, TX and Seattle on 28th March, 2013 using only “BeatMaker 2″ for iOS (iPad).

I got an iPad Mini, and I like it… …most of it. I wrote a brief description of my take on Apple’s new device on TaskFlo.ws. “What’s Missing…”   

I haven’t seen this in a long while, but it sure brings back the memories… This video was made by Pummelvision: The website would take your Instagram feed and turned into a quick slideshow with some music to go along. Unfortunately, the website is no longer in service, but I still think (even more, now) that it was a great idea. This video shows a rather accurate description of my life in between living i

There’s Facebook… You know it. You use it (well, most of you). And then there’s the iPad. *THE* Tablet. The one & only. Two successful entities that can be experience together in all their greatness –except for a “few” things… mainly on the Facebook side. I’ve decided to document some things that (in my humble opinion) don’t work very well with Facebook’

This is the entire collection of photos & videos from our exploration of the “Emerald Island” –as part of the Interaction 12 experience. Those of you who have never been to this beautiful country and/or don’t know what IxDA‘s Interaction conference is: I’ll let the images speak for themselves….
