Pete Ottery’s Summary

I thrive working on large, commercial, information heavy site designs. I have an emphasis on ease of use & simplicity. My idea of great web design is design that enhances the user experience but doesn't get in the way.

I find having the ability to work up creative concepts as well as hand coding the initial templates using css and html/xhtml to be an enormous advantage.

Pete Ottery’s Specialties:

Photoshop concepts, css/html/xhtml standards based design.

Pete Ottery’s Experience

• Group Interface Designer

  News Digital Media

  (Public Company; Online Media industry)

  March 2007 — Present (1 year 7 months)

  I now work across the gamut of News Digital Media businesses on design concepts for large projects. I have a great role working independently & directly with product owners and execs to help inform requirements and push product design boundaries.
  
  I'm still hands on with Photoshop, aswell as CSS/XHTML, and am continuing to find it a real asset to create a new visual concept and then deliver a working example without losing any of the polish. I often design an initial overview or direction - and then internal teams propagate that design across site/s.
