Life Is An Experience
Design Value
An application that processes data swiftly still needs to show the user where to find it.
An interaction that’s visually appealing or desirable doesn't inherently drive conversion.
A product or feature that solves a business need might not always insure customer adoption.
Good design can tie all these disciplines together to lead any market.
Design Process
Research
Thoroughly understand the human & business needs to inform requirements and refine the focus and scope of the solution.
Collaborate
Gather Research, Business, Development and Design team members to white board or sketch out possible solutions and ideas as a collective of specialists.
Prototype
Create prototypes for interactions, features and flows to test ideas and solutions using any means that fit your project, from paper to code.
Iterate
Test and share the solution then adapt prototypes as needed based on results and feedback received.
Deliver
Work closely with development and test teams to ensure solution remains true to design and that a designer is there to support implementation.
Follow Up
Research and interview users of solution to quantify and address any edge-cases that we could better support or solve for.
Designer / Developer Hybrid
The next revolution won't be televised. It'll be designed in your mind and coded by robots.

What people say about Jamison..
„
I remember Jamison coming to me when everyone still had Blackberrys, telling me the future was actually touch screens. I thought, yeah right, then it happened. Jamison's forward thinking is an asset to any company that wants to be ahead of trends and not catching up.
Tommy Faulkner, MMG
„
Jamison is driven towards creative solutions and has a good understanding of both business drivers and what technology is needed to deliver. He always has a great attitude and that makes a huge difference on challenging projects.
Scott Ely, Microsoft
„
If you want a true leader who walks the walk and talks the talk, Jamison is your guy. Very inspiring, knowledgeable, talented and loyal... you can't ask for more than that when you need someone to deliver.
Windy Jeffreys, AT&T
CASE STUDY | Hear Your Way
In exploring the human needs for those with limited or no hearing, we found the largest barrier for purchasing hearing aids was getting your hearing tested. To help our customers with this, we partnered with HearX and designed an online hearing screener as part of our purchase flow to inform customers and offer personal product suggestions based on the outcome. All without leaving home.
CASE STUDY | Innovating with Sensors
I had the priveledge of working with Point Road Solutions to explore how we could make the world better with Arkenet's patented Doppler-Radar & AI capabilities. Our design sprints and innovation sessions provided amazing oppotunities for ai-assisted experiences, especially in the health space.

Prototypes & Designs
A few UI Prototypes I made to share design changes with business, development, and research teams
A few screenshots from desktop / Mobile views plus one (of many) "napkin designs"
T-Mobile Retail App Configurator
This project moved so fast that we went straight from whiteboarding to prototyping. We replaced User-Flows with Filter-Controls so prototypes just made more sense than wireframes.
Tossed the basic components on the stage to test out my “Filter-Based UI” concept.
Consolidated UI elements above the fold and added better support for mobile devices.
Rolled UI back to the concept of a user-flow by way of controlled interaction states/views.
Moved back to "filter-based" interaction to support more use-cases & aligned to T-Mobile Style Guide.
Xbox Music, Video, & Reading Apps
Magazine and book covers come in all sizes/shapes, so did the UX. Some books have reviews, some don't. Some have Author Bios, Some don't but all offered an intersting puzzle to solve for UI/UX.
- Developed interactions and interface for xBox and Windows apps.
- Consulted on visual and experience design for new applications and features.
- Ensured experience matched platform/brand styles and design guides.
- Wrote display code for Music, Video, and Reading apps in xBox and Windows.
