Martin Charlier, Product + Service Designer
Martin Charlier is designer specialising in the intersection of digital and physical. His background is in industrial design, he works a lot in UX and service design and his key interest is in connected products. He’s a co-author of ‘Designing Connected Products’, a co-founder of Rain Cloud (which is a project exploring new interactions with connected products) and a freelance design consultant.
Martin has previously worked at Frog Design, Fjord and Random International. Recent projects include work with a predictive analytics startup as well as on the community platform iotacademy.org (http://iotacademy.org/).
Claire Rowland, Independent UX and Product Consultant
Claire has a particular interest in making the internet of things make sense to mass market users, and experience in consumer applications such as connected home technology, heating, energy monitoring, security and home automation.
UX is a lot more than UI design. Claire uses methods from design research, service design, interaction design, information architecture, usability and UX to make complex distributed computer systems make sense to people who aren't technical specialists.
That means framing the problem (understanding what users and the business need), shaping propositions and concept designs to fit those needs, and making sure the end result is appealing, valuable and makes sense.
This event is hosted by Screen Interaction who also provide us with drinks and snacks – Thank you!
