I am a user experience consultant that have worked in the industry since 1999. I started Mantaray in 2006 in South Africa and we have been involved with many clients creating innovative products for the African market. Our focus is in digital environment assisting clients in developing digital products that are innovative in meeting business objectives and answering customer needs. We work from the initial strategy level through to final implementation of the digital product. Mantaray is the African partner of the UXalliance which consist of 25 agencies worldwide that collaborate on global clients in meeting UX research and design demands. I am currently the elected COO of the UXalliance ensuring we meet monthly via the webinar discussing various internal working groups that would meet the strategic objectives for the year. I have good communication skills, problem solving and analytical ability and work well with technical teams and business units alike. In my free time I enjoy horse riding, dancing and learning spanish. I am currently restoring the house I bought in Spain and spend most of my free time immersing myself in the culture and learning old building techniques.
