Resumé for Martin Christensen
Personal goal
Solving complicated problems, preferably in a cross-functional team and with user focus, with creative yet simple methods is what I always long for. My goal is hence to work as a user experience designer,
preferably in an agile development team and gladly as a coach or a project leader since I'm good at communication and I
have proven pedagogical skills. I have good knowledge in and experience with user-centered methods such as user- and task analysis, prototyping and evaluation, as well as teaching in that particular area. I have a special interest in mobile devices and services.
