Maadmob is a small Australian freelance/consulting design studio, run by Donna Spencer, specialising in 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.
