Welcome to the online resume and portfolios of Jim O'Brien,
passionate User Interface (UI) Designer.
Over the years, I have worn many hats and many name tags. Web Site Designer,
Senior Web Developer, Manager of Web Integration, User Interface Designer,
Senior Information Architect, Product Designer, Senior User Experience Designer, Senior Interaction Designer, etc. When I am not designing,
I have been known to play the role of a project manager, a team leader,
and even a business analyst at times; and people still ask what it is
I do.
In short, I help plan and design web sites and software applications
to be more user-friendly and easy to use so users can complete their tasks and businesses can be more successful.
A solid user interface design can help your business:
- Establish a professional Internet presence
- Develop a user-centered application
- Improve the usability and user-friendliness of an existing site or
application
- Increase ROI
- Reduce rework
- Improve conversion rates
- Reduce incoming phone calls
- Decrease the amount of required training
- Emphasize ease-of-use
- Make your users happy instead of unhappy or worse yet, angry...
