Blink Interactive acquires Blue Flavor Sep 1st, 2010

After much anticipation, I am happy to announce that Blue Flavor has been acquired by Blink Interactive.  As part of the acquisition, I will be joining the team at Blink Interactive as User Experience Director.

My focus will be on directing client projects and delivering evidence-driven design solutions. I will also be instrumental in strengthening Blink’s position as a thought leader in the user experience domain, just like I did for Blue Flavor.

Another Passion interview Aug 17th, 2010

The extremely talented Danish photographer and writer, Rasmus Rasmussen, was kind enough to interview me for his project called Another Passion.  The interview covers the topics of user experience, design, business, career paths, and, of course, finding your passion in the mix of it all.  It was a great experience and I am happy to have been a part of Another Passion.  You can find the interview here: Nick Finck Is About Experience.  Also be sure to check out the other interviews Rasmus has done on other creative and passionate people.

Beyond the Web Experience Jul 31st, 2010

I find it interesting that whenever I talk about experience design people assume I am talking about web based experiences only.  An experience is the holistic perspective, everything from experiencing interfaces, websites, physical interfaces, the environment, even the smells and tastes.  Within a single day I came across three seemingly un-related topics that were all tied into user experience.. or perhaps more accurately, the human experience. 

The holistic customer experience is where I have been spending most of my time and energy of late.  Those experiences related to researching, buying, using, seeing in action products and services.  Essentially, every touchpoint a customer has with a product or service.  These three resources will get your mind wandering outside of what we think of when it comes to experience design.
