Hi, I’m Midé…
a seasoned interactive media professional with extensive knowledge of integrating UX/UI design and development with usability and accessibility standards while fulfilling creative and business requirements.
My experience spans several industries including Finance, Energy, Telecom, Advertising and Manufacturing. I have worked with brands such as General Motors, Bank of Montreal, Citi Bank, Mercer Human Resource Consulting, Bell Satellite TV and Caterpillar.
Recently, I completed the 12 week Mastering Design Thinking course offered by MIT Sloan School of Management. It was a hands on and interactive program with several individual and team assignments. The major take-aways include a deeper understanding of the value of early, rapid prototyping in the design process and how to benchmark customer needs and product specifications.
Portfour.com is where I share ideas about using state–of–the–art technology to create functional, accessible and user–friendly interactive design. The main focus is front end or user interface design & development. One of the core ideas behind portfour.com is to make digital interaction much more intuitive and exciting for end users and developers as well.
