Steve Teare

User Experience Professional
Palouse, Washington



 

My focus is on user experience (UX) for cross-device websites. I balance speed (optimization) and aesthetics (visuals) for mobile, tablet, and desktop browsers. Proven creative intelligence for business. Self-taught. Very motivated. Fascinated with technology, marketing communications, and visual design.


Accomplishments
I have started and grown small businesses from turnarounds (bleeding) to bootstrap (survival) to growth and wealth (profitable). My main strength is finding unrealised potential and hidden assets then transforming those into success. My main tool is niche communication strategy. I prefer technology products for B2B, industrial, and government markets.
