Since this is the place for self-promotion I'm going to be very honest: I'm really, really smart and can help you with virtually any product/concept/UX needs/questions you have. I can and will understand new concept/systems within minutes and offer actionable, extremely valuable, personalized insights by the time our phone call is over.
If you're an angel investor doing due diligence on a new concept and want a multifaceted, user-centered perspective, call me (I have absolutely no problem signing an NDA). If you've launched something and want me to perform a live (on the phone) expert/heuristic evaluation of your product (tell you which elements are good, which elements suck and which you should address), call me. If you're at any stage and need an creative solution/hack to gain a challenging user insight, call me. If you have a general concept but don't know how to go about refining or validating it, call me. If you just want to bounce ideas off of me, call me (again- I guarantee complete confidentiality and have no problem signing NDAs). If you want to know how to conduct cheap, repeatable and actionable user research, call me. If you want a primer/hour course on user-centered design and iterative prototyping, call me. If you're in an early stage start-up and aren't sure what you should know about user experience (those damn unknown unknowns will kill you), call me. If you're a programmer and think that good UX is something that you can innately pull off without a comprehensive strategy or expert on the team, you really should call me (it could save your business). If you want to try a pitch out on me for practice/feedback, call me. If you just want to ask me an esoteric question or trade interesting life stories, call me. If you want to hear my thoughts on the future of entertainment media and video games, call me. If you want to want to hear stories or details about my prior research into video game psychology, call me. If you're wondering whether or not you should call me, you should probably call me. Most of all: if you want someone who will listen to your specific challenges and give you personalized, actionable advice within minutes, call me.
My background: experimental filmmaker turned nuclear engineer turned educational technologist turned video game psychology researcher (with multiple journal publications) turned usability/design consultant turned ecommerce entrepreneur + developer of proprietary analytics tech.
