Sven Laqua
Head of User Experience in London, United Kingdom
I'm Head of User Experience at Digital Science working on a range of internal initiatives and with our portfolio companies.
My team and I work closely with product owners, product managers, business analysts, developers and of course end users to make UX a central part of every aspect of the process - from idea conception, to the assessment of feasibility, the elaboration on more detailed requirements and the actual agile development process.
We get involved in everything UX - conducting user research, shaping user requirements, information architecture, interaction design, visual design, prototyping, and user testing.
In my previous life in academia, I worked as research associate and teaching fellow for Interaction Design at University College London. My PhD research on information discovery and exploration is published at major conferences in Human-Computer Interaction (ACM CHI, BCS HCI, and Interact).
