DIGITAL. DESIGN. DIRECTION.
About me
onep1xel is Ryan SmithYou’ll find me at the intersection of design, interaction and data. Looking around, taking it all in. Probably drawing and making things on the computer. I’ve taken a few different roads in the last 20 years - in user interface, marketing CX and design leadership - and each has led me back to this neighbourhood. I love it here; it can be noisy and frenetic and then thoughtful and soothing. And that’s precisely the point, isn’t it? (I also run Freewheel Weekends.)
My Approach
How I like to team-up & get stuff doneMy approach to creating and collaborating is not revolutionary. It’s based on proven methodologies and experience. This is an overview.
Start at the beginning
Let’s work to uncover the root cause of what’s going on, making sure it’s the real problem. Then agree on a process, how it will be delivered and measured.
Gathering stuff
I watch people, ask them questions, find similes and metaphors, ask my mum, rally a brains trust. I document everything. Then whittle and refine.
Explore and develop
Putting pen to paper. Literally - Artline hits Moleskine. I scribble and write lists and I connect boxes with arrows. I rationalise with feeling.
Make a billy cart
Prototypes. Bringing the premise to life. A wireframe whipper-snapper that acts like one of the grown-ups.
Take it public
Bringing the output to the people that matter; the people who use it and those who understand it best.
Test and learn
Using data – from machines and people - to continually evaluate and improve. Collating and formulating how feedback can be introduced.
