Five Sketches™ works for software and web-page design. Do you want to know more about Five Sketches™?

I’m very interested in helping you.

I can train your development team in how to reduce your business risk by following a design process that was developed specifically for and with developers. I’ve been teaching this method since 2007, with great success, to teams of developers from Canada, USA, Australia, India, and South Africa. I’ve been teaching for over ten years to groups of professionals and to college and university classes; I’ve been presenting at international conferences since 2001.

  • Help integrate Five Sketches™ into your existing development processes.
  • Usability testing, user research, and writing of user personas.

I’m very interested to talk to you about Five Sketches™. To speak with me about your project or your training needs, feel free to email or phone me.

         

One last thing: developers often expect themselves to simply read an article about something and then jump right in, knowing how to do it. Throughout this site you’ll find the pieces of information you need to jump right in. The method works, so if it doesn’t work for you, you’re not doing it right. I can help you (to reduce business risk, improve your designs, get team concensus, get stakeholder buy-in, and deliver on schedule) if you ask for help.
