Bio:

I currently lead a team of interaction designers and visual designers in the Financial & Risk division at Thomson Reuters, working on professional applications for our clients in the financial markets. Those eight screens of ticking charts and flashing grids that traders stare at all day? That's us, amongst other things. Over the past few years I've led the design of the mapping capability for our commodities business, worked on search, been involved in our research and testing work, and had a stint running the front end development group for core applications (news, charts, and maps). Prior to diving into finance I spent several years as a UXer in the education sector, designing e-learning products and the learning management systems used to deliver them. I had a first career as an archaeologist, and still gravitate towards sunny climes and the sound of a good trowel striking something long-buried.
