Niamh Redmond’s Summary

I have over 5 years professional experience working in website design, management and interactive media roles. I have helped clients with their websites, intranets, applications, e-mail marketing, online advertising, social media, flash and video production requirements. My experience ranges from planning, wireframing, design, development and production through to project management, training and consultancy based roles. I first began experimenting with web design, photo manipulation and computer programming in 1996 and was hooked. I went on to study Multimedia at University in the first undergraduate Multimedia degree offered in Ireland. In 2006, I graduated with a Master's degree in Digital Media Technologies and have worked in the industry in freelance, contract and permanent roles.

My focus recently has been on User Experience. This involves helping companies and organisations utilise the web and digital media effectively. I value user-centered design and have conducted user research and testing in order to guide conceptual modeling and inform critical design decisions.

I am moving to Vancouver, British Columbia at the end of 2009 and am now actively looking for my next challenge. Please e-mail me if you would like to know more.
