The UX Eye for the Developer Guy is a monthly even that puts leaders from local startups in need of UX advice in the same room with a horde of Bay Area UX designers. We put them all together and let the magic happen!

For my graduation thesis, in collaboration with Lumiq Studios (part of the Virtual Reality Multimedia Park in Torino, Italy) I researched tools and methods to create game based e-learning software, establishing metrics for planning and budgeting, and established a rigorous methodology for user testing and acceptance.

As a corollary to this research work, I designed a graphic adventure game prototype to verify my theories on production methodologies and user testing.

Worked as designer/developer on a variety of projects, mostly Flash based like websites, tutorials and instructional materials, and print production such as catalogs and manuals in multiple languages.

I also worked on a number of internal marketing and advertising initiatives - Lionbridge’s Multimedia Department of Madrid mini site, Lionbridge corporate website, promotional material for trade fairs and client presentations.
