David Stubbs’s Summary

User Experience Designer, specializing in Blend Production for all .Net based platforms - Silverlight, WPF, Surface and Win 7. Put simply, I am a Blend expert. I am currently leading the charge for a new type of Designer - Interaction Designer - where the designer dives into code more and more. Understanding triggers, states, templataing properly is what being a proper Interaction Designer is, and thats what makes the difference from a good app to an amazing app.

I'm also a digital artist with expertise in Photoshop, 3ds Max, Dreamweaver, Flash, Illustrator, and InDesign. As well as having a keen sense of layout and design I have a strong knowledge in creating Validated XHTML 1.0/HTML 4.0 and CSS 2 web pages and templates; such as those for Wordpress, PhpBB and MediaWiki. I also have a working knowledge of PHP, MySQL and Javascript integration. Thats not to say I lost touch with my roots, being traditional art and 3d modeling, I am still heavily involved in concepting characters and modeling them in either high poly/low poly.

David Stubbs’s Specialties:

Expression Blend, Surface, WPF, Silverlight, Photoshop, NUI UI Design, Web Development, 3d Low Poly Modeling, Texturing, 3ds max.
