Magnus Klausen Revang’s Summary

User Experience and User Centered Development advocate. To find the right balance between the different aspects of the User Experience and to raise awareness of usability and desirability issues within my project teams. As a consultant I always strive to be seen as an investment and make my customers winners.

My experience spans many fields of the development process. I have at times been Project Manager, Usability Specialist, Programmer, Interaction Designer and Implementor. This has given me the knowledge and experience to communicate with diverse groups, from graphic designers to programmers to marketing, at their terms and make them work toward a common vision for a project.

None, Psychology, August 1996 — June 1998

My entrepeneurial spirit came in the way, I never finished with a degree from the University of Oslo. My attempts to find a summer job in '98 resulted in employment at New Media Science and a career in Internet Development. Thankfully a combination of skill, persistence and pure luck led to prosperity even in the post-dotcom era.
