I currently reside in Denver, Colorado, where you'll find me mastering my ping-pong skills, attending Denver's monthly UX Book Club, and geeking out on Twitter.

I'd love to talk to you about:
- Advice on improving your product
- Aligning business goals with user goals

Call me to talk about

Mobile User Experience

I have experience creating experiences in both native mobile (iOS and Android) and responsive web designs. I've managed projects from inception to completion for fortune 100 companies to deliver world renowned and award-winning experiences.

http://www.deloittedigital.com

I have worked on developing products with companies in multiple industries include education, government, television, innovative web, social media, and more. I am passionate about seeing great ideas get built and providing great user experiences while managing business requirements and technology constraints. I have led product teams in building both consumer and business products, seeing the entire product's lifecycle from conception to completion.

Responsive Web Design

Responsive Web Design (RWD) is a new trend on the web of sites that adapt and scale to the device that is viewing it. I have done over 10 responsive design projects with a primary focus on B2B products and making the most of larger screen sizes in addition to the smaller ones. RWD has a huge impact on the UX and I'd love to chat with you about this.

Passion and tenacity are two words that define Tim as a user experience designer. Tim is a self starter who uses his relentless desire to master his trade to deliver great user experiences.

Tim has demonstrated time and again his love and curiosity for user experience design. Tim's work within the UX community is inspirational and drives me to keep learning and mastering my craft.

He excels at helping his teammates improve and motivating those around him. Couple that with his drive for constant improvement and creating user experience communities makes Tim a valuable asset to any UX environment.

Alex Johnson Source: LinkedIn

Tim has repeatedly shown the ability to quickly organize and lead a time to produce client-focused UX and Design work. I have been very impressed with Tim's ability to pick up projects and get clarity from stakeholders.

I think Tim has a great grasp of user experience (especially in mobile) and his detail-oriented approach makes him an excellent addition for a team working on the hardest problems.

Rowan Christmas Source: LinkedIn

While User Experience isn't my field, it's very clear that it IS Tim's field. He is always thinking about how decisions impact the user, and his passion for making sure that the UX is done in the best way for the user shines through in everything that he does.

Nathan Hale Source: LinkedIn

Tim has a knack for asking insightful questions and considering unique solutions. He is a tireless worker dedicated to improving his craft and being a compelling advocate for both users and clients. Combined with his mastery of social media, his success - and that of whichever firm snatches him off the market - is assured.

Sean Keating Source: LinkedIn

Tim is an extremely intellectual user experience designer for multiple platforms including iOS, Android and Responsive Web Design. He is very efficient with his designs, providing quick designs with fine levels of detail to his craft. He is passionate about user experience and continues to grow at a rapid pace to pursue the ideal solutions to his problems.

Caleb Kang Source: LinkedIn

Timothy is one of those unique UX practitioners that brings to the game a effective combination of interaction design, user research, and most importantly, the hunger to explore, learn, and continually develop his skills. I had the pleasure of working across studios with Timothy at Deloitte Digital (he in Denver, me in Seattle), and was always impressed by Timothy's hard work ethic, attention to detail, and interests in all things UX.

Timothy is a talented guy, and would be an asset on any project team, and best part (THIS IS FOR YOU, SEATTLE-BASED RECRUITERS), he's available and moving to the Seattle region. So act now recruiters, he'll be snatched up quick!

Mike Watt Source: LinkedIn

Tim and I were colleagues on an ambitious project for a detail-oriented client. Despite ongoing scope-related challenges, Tim was able to distill disparate requirements into the wireframes used by the remainder of the team to deliver the project.
Tim has an upbeat personality and brings a keen wit to all communication.

Bill Neiman Source: LinkedIn

I worked directly with Timothy on a project where our task was to develop an interface that encompassed the needs of three separate product teams. Timothy's ideas were creative, functional, and aesthetically pleasing. His skills in UI/UX design are top notch and his knowledge of usability testing was essential for getting quality UX to our customers.

Timothy is hard-working, motivated, and passionate about his craft. I'd work with him again in a heartbeat.

Mark Lozano Source: LinkedIn

I worked directly with Tim on a UI Design project where I was responsible for implementing the user interface that Tim designed. Tim has deep knowledge of both design and usability testing. He was always current on the latest web technologies and on design trends within the industry. I would not hesitate to work with him again.

Patrick Hoeffel Source: LinkedIn

Timothy brought a great detail of UX vision to a conceptual project with a minimal amount of time made available to familiarize himself with the overall scope of the effort.

Concepts, functionality, capability, and purpose are clearly dissected by Timothy with the end-user experience as the priority, and his process to implement the experience is well thought through and efficiently delivered.

I would recommend Timothy for both User Experience and User Interface design and prototyping.

Daniel Hathaway Source: LinkedIn

Tim is an energetic, creative, and motivated graphic design artist. He assisted the marketing team and was also involved with our product development team and user experience design while he was with Caption Colorado. His work was exceptional. Tim has an artistic eye and appreciation for the importance of simplicity in marketing and the impact of imagery to set the mood and convey your message!
