At Sidhe I lead a small team in the concept development, design and production of interfaces for the All Blacks Rugby Challenge video game released on Xbox360, PS3, PS Vita & PC to coincide with the Rugby World Cup. The game features deep customisation functionality and an innovative interface that blends 2D and 3D elements to create a visceral experience where you never leave the action.
Through Gibson Group International I did concept development and previsualisation for the ambitious Vaeggen Wall interactive exhibit for the Museum of Copenhagen. The roaming installation featured a 12 meter long, interactive, multitouch screen allowing multiple visitors to simultaneously navigate a 3-dimensional pictorial representation of past and present Copenhagen. The project also supported user-generated content in the form of text, photos and video uploaded on-site, or via an online version of the wall.
While at Xero I was the lead interaction designer on Xero’s personal finance solution. The visual design is an evolution of the core accounting package’s interface, tailored to appeal to a broader audience and support BNZ’s co-branding. Under the hood it’s a whole separate application with all kinds of smart functionality, including the ability to track your spending habits and progress towards savings goals – all without you needing to lift a finger.
As Senior Interaction Designer at Xero I was responsible for taking complex user requirements and accounting rules and turning them into intuitive, engaging and efficient interface designs and user experiences. We got regular feedback from our customers describing Xero not only a joy to use, but even fun.
Xero was named one of the “10 Best Application UIs of 2008″ by Nielsen Norman Group, and in 2009 picked up two Webby Awards, including the People’s Voice award.
