Soluis: Senior UI/UX Designer
Oct 2017 - CurrentSoluis approached me to return to the company at a senior level to help manage and grow the design team. Although I was sad to leave Itison, I was excited at the prospect of all the new challenges that Soluis would offer me...and I was confident that I would be leaving Itison in a better place than when I joined! I also had the opportunity to work remotely in Australia for the first few months.
At Soluis I work with a variety of platforms, most notably emerging technologies such as AR and VR. Each project is different and we approach them with the goal of finding the best platform for the audience.
