Neil Kulas’s Summary
I am a designer dedicated to shaping and enhancing user experiences while remaining focused on core business objectives.
I employ user centered design principles in all my work whether tasked to code semantic mark up or create rich graphical interfaces. From the inside out, I design by shaping user experience with methods that build strong and valuable relationships between user and client.
I have a master’s degree in combined media and eight years experience creating interactive projects. Currently I am exploring new opportunities in interactive design and art direction.
