Russell James Smith’s Summary

With a mixed arts and science background I found a home after university in the burgeoning world of New Media. Now with over seven years experience in several agencies I've gained great experience on a wide range of projects from marketing to e-commerce to government portals.

I've been responsible for both the nuts and bolts of a project using my excellent hands on design, HTML & CSS skills. I've worked to improve the success of projects by promoting usability and user centred design backed up by valuable first-hand experience. More lately I've been a key player in developing new projects from first concept to realisation often starting from core business objectives and developing new ideas to realise them online.

I'd describe myself as a creative problem solver with a methodical, rational approach and great attention to detail. I thrive in an environment that enables me to continuously learn and explore the new possibilities of the online medium.
