Hello! My name is Kyle James Mayne (or Kyle for short), and I am a User Experience Designer living in the North East of England. Over the past year, I have been completing a Masters degree (M.Sc.) in Human Computer Interaction; a course that gave hands-on experience in the design, development and evaluation of interactive technologies. I am a practitioner of User Centred Design, undertaking ethnographic research as a means of understanding user behaviour. I utilise such techniques as observations, contextual inquiries, diary studies and cultural probes to gather user and business requirements to create outstanding user experiences.

My responsibility is to create technologies which benefit the organisation, consumers and society at large. To fulfil this responsibility, I am required to understand what users want, and to do so, I focus on them empirically. I am very passionate about everything related to design. I aim to create products whose form, content, and behaviour is useful, usable, and desirable, as well as financially viable and technically feasible.

My understanding of technology, comes from a background in computing, with a degree in Information Systems from Newcastle University. The aim of this website is to showcase my abilities and designs, including my work for the BBC. A copy of my resumé is also available.

Enjoy my site!
