Smart move

I have no idea if you've noticed, but it has been a while since I've posted. I have been busy looking for work, as I'll explain here.

I quit my job (as you may have read before) and have been looking for freelance jobs or a new fulltime job. I looked in many places (here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here) but finally settled for:

UserIntelligence

It looks like I will become a partner in the company that is transforming itself from a one-man band into a small-but-significant user experience hotspot based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

UserIntelligence's founder, Tjeerd de Boer (not always as smug as the smile suggests), is a seasoned usability evaluator, an avid follower of the user experience field, and very well-read in general. He has been running and growing the company for the last three years and worked for international and national clients such as Philips, T-Mobile, Reed Elsevier, Manutan and ANWB.

Our services will range from user research, through experience design to usability evaluations, with UX strategy and process advice on one side and UX research and education on the other.

This evening, I have been putting together job descriptions for us and our band of freelancers-turned-employees, and created the sitemap for our not-to-be-released-before-september new website. I am working!

So, people in my network beware! I will soon be coming to haunt you, begging for work , unless you come and bring it to us first...
