Long overdue update

As the title suggests it has been rather a long time since I last updated this blog. I will try to quickly summarise what I've been up to, and hopefully this will instigate more regular postings.

So, I have now begun my career in user research at One to One Insight in London. I'm doing customer experience research and learning more and more every day. London life is hectic but enjoyable and definitely gets a bit more sun than Scotland in the summer!

From now on I will attempt to more frequently document my thoughts and observations on people, design and technology. I am also now the owner of a twitter account, and so may use it to give brief updates.

Gotomedia

Whilst researching into mobile communication I found the Gotomobile blog, which looks at it usability and user experience.

This led me to the company Gotomedia, who create interfaces for mobiles, products and the web. It was interesting to also look at their strategy and process in regards to the My Strategy exercise for the DLPSI module.

Kelly Goto is involved in both the blog and the company, and the blog states that she is "dedicated to understanding how real people integrate products and services into their daily lives". I also found an interview with her here, where she explains the process and project management involved in producing online brands.

I hope to take some of this onboard, as I am interested in people centred research for the creation of new products and ideas.
