Maya Wiseman’s Experience

• User Experience Manager

  Vodafone

  (Public Company; 10,001 or more employees; VOD; Telecommunications industry)

  September 2008 — Present (11 months)

  Define UE interface for handset manufacturers, platform vendors and internet players to conduct strategic design for future services.
  
  Evaluate UI concepts and design alternatives.

• Usability specialist, eBusiness

  Royal Mail

  (Public Company; Logistics and Supply Chain industry)

  January 2007 — May 2008 (1 year 5 months)

  My main task is to improve the usability and accessibility of projects throughout the eExpress process. I write reviews at the following project stages:
  • information architecture
  • visual design
  • implementation
  • site integration
  
  To support site integrity, I create coding standards for presentational code, i.e.:
  • presentational JSP
  • CSS
  • Flash
  • PFD etc.
  
  Success criteria
  • Fewer and less serious usability problems reported to Customer services
  • Fewer complaints from disabled people to Customer services
  • Old and new presentational code has fewer bugs, is easier to maintain and adheres to standards

• Masters Student

  London School of Economics

  (Educational Institution; Higher Education industry)

  September 2005 — December 2006 (1 year 4 months)

  My research focused on online ethnography in the design of mobile and wireless applications

• Project manager / Information Architect

  Twist Image

  (Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Marketing and Advertising industry)

  August 2004 — April 2005 (9 months)

  Clients should be able to come to you with nothing more than an itch and a dream. My job at Twist Image was to interrogate that itch, develop that dream, turn it into a project plan, make it happen, do whatever to make sure that we surpassed expectations.
  
  In a nutshell, I:
  » Assessed website requirements
  » Created rapid prototypes that expressed overall architecture i.e. navigation scheme, user trajectories and calls to action
  » Set project timelines, production schedules and made sure we delivered on time
  » Kept clients informed of progress and handled change requests
  » Accepted a lot of praise on behalf of a creative and inspired team
