I am obsessive about discovering, quantifying and solving User Experience challenges in Web Applications, Mobile and Service Designs. With over 15 years professional experience, ranging from Fortune 500s to
startups, I have seen and solved a lot of problems.

I focus on real-world metrics to create tangible ROI. Because - more than ever - the experiences people have
with products and services matter. Small (and/or even incremental) changes can make a big difference to an organization's bottom line.

Working Together

2012/05/20

My typical project lasts at least a few months, part to full-time as needed, where I am an integrated member of the product and development teams.

Modern collaboration tools (WebEx, Acrobat Connect, etc) allow me to work across the globe with a variety of stakeholders. I rely heavily on these and high-end video conferencing (telepresence) to keep me just a few clicks away (often more accessible than people who share a building) from clients on a daily basis. I do have my own offices, so I do most of my production work in my own space. For meetings or when needed, I'll be happy to travel to your offices (or near any or airport) to meet with you.

Feel free to contact me directly, for a pressure-free chat about how I might be able to help you.

Why is the portfolio area locked? I've had several incidents where agencies took my materials and pretended to represent me - pitching me to their clients without even talking to me first. Seriously.      Please email me to access my detailed portfolio examples. © 2012, Mike Rothermel
