Hi, my name is Chris Comeau. I am a User Experience Designer (UX), web designer, and front-end developer. I am currently working with IDI Multimedia, a company I co-founded in 1996. God has blessed me with many talents, I am extremely creative and techinical, with a knack for solving problems and providing solutions. I have senior experience, working within a digital agency, in web and application development, project management, consulting, and stakeholder communications.
Usually, this section is called something like, "Things I Like." However, I'm convinced that things I like to do have become a positive influence on my career. After all, the reason I do what I do, is because I really enjoy it! That being said, I like to play and record music with my band, SonRise. I like to produce video, and like to design user experiences. I like to play in my fishing kayak. And I LOVE my family.
Design is more than a pretty picture. It's a process included in many phases of a project. Like software development, it can be an iterative process. In my experience, it's almost always the first thing a client is drawn to. I have always worked hard on my design, and my techincial skills. Yes, I am a designer AND a developer.
I am a senior user experience designer. I've been creating personas, user stories, wireframes, pageflows, and prototypes before the term UX was a job title. The user experience is a critical element in anything interactive, and even more so with mobile devices. Please investigate this site further, because I have a lot more to show, including upcoming case studies on how my projects evolved, the UX process, and how the solutions were provided.
I specialize in front end development, and interactive applications. I am an expert in HTML5, jQuery, CSS3, PHP, MySQL, and javascript. I also have a lot of experience in Actionscript 3.0, Java, and object oriented programming concepts. I am currently developing for IOS and Android, and using libraries like AngularJS and NodeJS.
I have led many teams of designers, programmers, ISD's, SME's, writers, and editors. I have managed all phases of projects, including Agile processes, PMI best practices, and stakeholder communications. I am an expert at managing budgets, schedules, risk analysis, project scope, and customer relations.
