Darren Northcott’s Summary

I am an Information Architect/Usability Analyst who has experience in design, development & strategy. I am currently employed at Rare Method Interactive Studios and perform Information Architecture, usability, strategy and some web development.

I am currently exploring the side of web and social media strategy as well as the innovation and digital strategy medium. Media (especially digital & Entertinment) has always been a passion of mine, and only seems fitting to explore this area of the industry.

I am also involved in production packages for several features, as well as producing a WWII webseries.
