Errol Stewart’s Summary

With over 8 years experience, including roles as both an Interactive Design Director and independent consultant, Errol extends brand strategy into online vehicles through: E2E Web Strategy, User Experience ( UX ) Design, User Interface ( UI ) Design, Information Architecture ( IA ), and Brand Identity.

Unique among designers, I love bleeding-edge web technology as much as I love beautiful visuals. Though not a full-blown developer, I understand the back-end and advocate front-end harmony as much as possible. I easily have one foot in PM territory.
