Olaf Dunn’s Experience
-
Mobile Web Consultant
MyThum Interactive
(Privately Held; Wireless industry)
October 2008 — Present (1 year 3 months)
At MyThum Interactive, my role evolved from a Mobile Web design and usability expert to also become involved in sales pitches and corporate presentations. Through using the Adobe Creative Suite, I provided creative design elements and mock-up to help clients visualize the possibilities of the mobile web. My ability to assimilate the latest trends in mobile is frequently put to use when asked by clients to plan their next
campaign, looking for "innovative" and "first to market" concepts that will put them in the limelight. Not only do my skills in researching the possibilities exist directly with clients, but also in training and educating the sales and business development teams in order to excite potential customers -
