Ask Who?

Who Are You?

I am FJ van Wingerde, and I have been working on user interface problems since 1992 or so when I was studying for my degree in Computer Science at the Vrije University in Amsterdam. Because the Usability / User Interface field keeps changing, my titles keeps changing with it, so I have been a Software Engineer,  Research Software Engineer, Web Designer, Information Architect, User Interface Consultant, User Experience Consultant, Mobile Information Architect, UX Consultant, etc, etc.

I have worked and consulted on the usability and user experience for desktop applications, websites, blogs, mobile websites, mobile apps, and concepts for interactive TV services. I started by studying the usability of command line interfaces, and most recently guided a billion-dollar-annual-revenue company in restructuring its brands and experiences.

And I have Opinions on these matters, as everyone who has ever led a meet-up, workshop, or forum that I have attended about usability knows.

So What Is This About?

15 years ago this blog started as a place where I discussed how I was donating time to small startups to help them get their first UX work started for their ideas, something that was incredible fun to do.

Now it is just my space to talk about UX issues. It’s very low volume because I am usually strapped under NDAs.

I am still available if you are a small startup that needs some first UX guidance.

And what else do you doo?
