About Justin
I'm a designer, and I specialize in human experiences of the digital world. My work proceeds from the basic assumption that technology is best when its human. Using design I try to push that in one of two directions:
Technology: a seamless aide for your every whim that works exactly the way you expect without getting in your way or making you think too hard
Technology: an instrument of cosmic awe and perception melting empowerment
To accomplish this, I use great communication, visual design, research-driven insight, and evocative deliverables to bridge the strategy, project planning, design, and development of digital products and services.
I’m especially good at connecting research insights, a vague concept, or high-level strategy with the nitty gritty design decisions that add up into a product in the hands of mushy, irrational humans out in the world.
I have worked as a design team of one, as part of large, in-house teams surrounded by whiteboards, interdisciplinary colleagues, and ping pong tables, and lately I’ve been working a lot from a home office with remote, distributed teams in a dozen timezones on every inhabited continent.
Some of my past clients include:
Ushahidi
Scotiabank
MasterCard
RBC Royal Bank
General Motors Canada
Freedom Mobile (formerly WIND Mobile)
Chevrolet
MSN
UEFA
theScore Mobile
I'm always looking for new collaborations, projects, and side hustles. If you've got a neat idea, reach out through the digital ether and let me know about it.
