Where in the world are you?
I live in Oswego NY where I attend SUNY Oswego as a grad student in Human Computer Interaction.
What stage of your career are you at?
I kind of answered this in the first question, whoops, but I am a graduate student who finishes up in December. I am entering the job market in hoped of landing a job in User Experience Design and or research, any combination of either really will do.
What are you current challenges?
As you might expect, my current challenge is figuring out where to start this whole job search process. I coded up a portfolio that I am no longer happy with. I am going to rebuild it to reflect my research and my process more. It’s chirsstultz.com, not very clever but it’s effective since that’s my name and all. I purchased the Ebook 'Get Started in UX and now I am here. I don’t necessarily know what I have to do first so I’m just trying to do everything.
What aspect/s of UX are passionate about?
In this order
Usability Testing
Research
Wireframe & prototyping
Information Architecture
Front End Design
My background is Psychology so I am most drawn to the human aspects of UX. As much as I want to be, I’ll never be the guy on top of every javascript library and writing complex back end algorithms.
Cats or dogs?
Despite my tiny thumbnail pic where you can vaguely make out a cat, I am definitely a dog person. You have to work for most things in this world but a dogs undying affection is not one of them.
