Information architecture.
User experience design.
Teaching and writing.
Facilitation.
Maadmob is a small Australian freelance/consulting design studio, run by Donna Spencer, specialising in information architecture, service design, product design and user experience design.
I have well over 20 years professional experience designing complex systems and services for a large range of clients across many industries. I am a regular speaker at a wide range of local and international conferences. I have written 3 books – on information architecture, card sorting and web writing – and many articles.
I live in Melbourne, Australia, and can work interstate, and internationally (remotely, or in short blocks), and locally.
I am currently working on a cool project for the NZ government (about half time), some writing and am available for interesting/complex contract projects, teaching and facilitation. Check out my now page for what I’m thinking about and working on.
