Aussie Interface/Web/Experience Designer in Hamburg Germany

I've been working as an Art Director in a Big German Agency in Hamburg for 7 years, but I'm going solo in September and moving to Sydney in October. Crazy, hunh?

Thoughts:
Interface is everything. If you're selling/discussing/presenting/sharing online, the interface is the #1 experience of brand, customer service, entertainment - everything. For users design makes the difference between power and hindrance.

And if you want an interface to rock, understand that design isn't window-dressing. It's problem solving. Start at the problem & define the goal. The window-dressing comes at the end.
