Richard Bennett
Product & UX Design, Product Management, Strategy
Winnipeg, Manitoba, CanadaI'm proficient in design over any medium (Print, Web, Mobile, etc) as well as an excellent communicator. I know the difference between "they're", "their", and "there." ;)
Most-recently, I've been focusing on building my skills for mobile application design and development (iOS & Android). I'm presently working on two personal mobile projects target for release in the Apple App Store & Google Play store later this year. I am a "certified" Apple Developer.
My passions include: Mobile App Design, Guitar solos (LOL), experimenting with CSS3 and HTML5, expanding my JavaScript knowledge, and brushing up on my French.
I'm always willing to lend a hand on in-progress projects. I excel in a group-setting though comfortable working on my own. I'm detail-oriented with a passion for the end-product. If you need someone on a consultant-basis, or a temp to fill a quick need, I'm usually available and up for the challenge.
If you're looking for someone for long-term project work that is time-critical, contact me for my present availability.
I love working local and meeting project teams in the Winnipeg-area, so if that's you - let's go for a coffee and talk-shop.
Cheerio!
