My Photography
I believe in sketching a lot, solving real problems otherwise it's pointless, and that less is more. Simple is beautiful

So, I was thinking...
The Evolution Digital Cameras
February 3, 2013
I’m an avid hobby photographer, and I’ve always been partial to Canon products. I’ve owned several Canon digital cameras and currently have 3 in my collection. My favorite of these is my EOS 400D that I bought on business in Singapore. The next DSLR I’ll buy will probably be a Canon product, but it’ll need to have WiFi built in (nudge, nudge, wink, wink). With my obvious bias toward Canon, I’ll be directing my comments toward them rather than Nikon.

Indigo Mobile Study - Windows Phone 8
April 4, 2013
Indigo is competing directly with Amazon.ca. Not having a mobile presence is a little bit nuts in my opinion.
To start off, I’d like to take a moment to describe the market.
US smartphone market fun facts
I realize that the US market is not the same as the Canadian market, but they’re pretty close so these statistics are relevant enough for my exploration. Generally the Canadian mobile adoption is stronger so the %’s below would be slightly higher if anything. These stats were found via comScore and a few fun info-graphics I found.

Image Meta Data
February 21, 2013
Pinterest is a great tool. I admit, I don’t use it very much but I don’t have to use it to recognize the potential. I believe, to take tools like Pinterest and Facebook to a completely new level images need to be self aware. Imagine if that picture of a dress knows what it is. To do this it needs to know it’s SKU (Stock Keeping Unit - such as a UPC)
Once an image knows it’s SKU, we can do all sorts of wonderful things. We can figure out who makes the product and get pricing information in real time. Amazing. Better yet, I can click on that image and using some fancy utility I can...

A Better Advent Calendar
March 16, 2013
This past Christmas my wife and I were suckered into buying those $40-50 Lego advent calendars. The idea is amazing. Every day the kids get a special treat that won’t rot their teeth! Problem is that the kids got bored about half way through December. Every day was just another little toy that they won’t play with because they really weren’t that much fun. It felt a lot like those toys you get at McDonald’s in a Happy Meal. They look fun but they’re really pretty useless.
My advice to Lego is to keep kids eyes on a goal and keep them engaged. I know the themes were Star Wars and L...

10 Usability Testing Pointers to Remember
July 13, 2013
I was recently coaching a colleague on usability testing and recognized that others might find these notes useful. Whether you’re just learning about user validation or want a quick refresher. I hope these points help you gain the best user feedback possible.
1. Two heads are better than one
Make sure when doing usability testing there are 2 people conducting the test. You’ll want an observer and a tester because it’s simply impossible to conduct a test and effectively take notes at the same time.
2. Do no wrong
Be sure to remind your users t...

Build vs Buy

About a year ago somebody asked me my philosophy regarding build vs buy. If you’re not sure what I’m talking about it’s the concept of building out product functionality – or integrating existing products. Generally as designers...
