Jamie is a great worker who understands and crosses the boundary between interaction design and system development. He is proactive and has a keen sense of the importance of turning in high class work on time, on budget. Highly motivated, and it shows in top marks, awards etc
Chris Riley
Jamie Shek worked for us over several months in 2008, on a strategic interaction design project. Jamie quickly came to grips with the project and was able to successfully work through the different, sometimes competing, elements of the development process. He consistently produced work of a high standard, which meet or exceed the design specifications. I was particularly impressed by Jamie’s ability to fit into the project team and work with software engineers, other designers and usability personnel. I would recommend Jamie for any further IMD role, as he proved to be an able, competent designer who excelled in this position at NCR.
