Jaan Orvet joins Huddle as User Experience Director
Posted on 04. May, 2010 by Luke in Announcements, Huddle News
A few months back when I wrote the requirements for Huddle’s first ever User Experience Director I talked a lot about about passion, about championing the user and about striving for clarity. In hindsight I realise it was like describing Jaan Orvet.
Jaan’s passion for usable, user friendly sites and apps is well known, as is his focus on clarity and simplicity. If it’s one thing he likes it is to help people “do better, not more”. He has been in the web industry since the mid 1990′s and worked with large clients as well as start-ups on both sides of the Atlantic. Most recently he has been consulting, blogging and speaking as part of his own Sharpenr consultancy.
Jaan also co-wrote the book “Noded – The untouchable business” with long-time collaborator Andreas Carlsson on collaborative working in distributed teams. Sweden’s Internetworld magazine liked it so much they listed Noded together with Twitter, Apple, Nintendo Wii, and Threadless as companies and ideas that are “leading the way”.
I am delighted to have Jaan onboard at our San Francisco office, and to be able to work with him to continue our relentless focus on the user. Follow him on Twitter where he is @orvet.
