Trained in human factors with an education in the humanities, Liam focuses on considering the human psychological and social experience to develop interactive products that are both technically efficient, as well as artistically effective, for the human person, while considering the investment vs. value to the client. Instilled in every project is the understanding that corporate brand and consistency of media message are key, which requires attention to detail and a willingness to reform creative energy toward the corporate agenda, yet not to override the needs of the consumer.
