Interfaces should be easy to understand. Websites should help the user + the brand. As an interaction designer, in collaboration with the client, I create site concepts. I translate these concepts to documents that show, define and describe the site layout and full functionality. My deliverables: concepts, personas, wireframes, sitemaps, process flows, clickable prototypes and IxD’s (interaction design documents). At the moment I work at www.info.nl, a full service internet agency in the city of Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
