Just a quick site update.  I have now graduated from my product design degree at Middlesex University. I have had a rapid undergrad to work transition with directly starting work after New Designers.

I have now started a job as an interaction designer [ixD] at TRIL, the technology research centre of independent living.  The official blurb about tril is “The TRIL Centre is a coordinated collection of research projects addressing the physical, cognitive and social consequences of ageing, all informed by ethnographic research and supported by a shared pool of knowledge and
engineering resources.”.  Its an exciting centre to work at because I get to work with a solid core of ethnographic research and get to work with techi people at Intel. There is one another full time interaction designer at Intel, but otherwise I’m a one person team IxD, supported by a Industrail Designer.

I shall be upgrading this site to reflect my Product Design / Interaction Design intressts. I plan to keep on blogging about personal projects and will be writing about my interaction design work at www.ixd.ie.

Just a quick post to let everyone know that the website shall be being updated in the coming weeks. I have just finished my degree, and I’m in the process of creating a showcase mini-site for my final year project. This shall be hosted on this site. I can’t say much about the project as I’m currently applying for a couple of patents. Until then you can see a teaser about my exhibition at http://www.pdeproduce.com.

I have a lot of posts that I would like to get on-line, I have a whole bunch of content to upload to the bog, but I’m currently trying to uphold a good level of quality. This has meant that I have had to go back though my website and copyright the whole site.

Its a very exciting time for me, I have been busy applying for jobs, and currently waiting to find out from a couple. But if you are looking for a product / interaction / UX designer. Please get in touch.

There is some existing stuff that I’m currently working on, a product called ‘the dub’, and various other design projects.

I’m currently migrating this site to a new web host that will allow me run more video and allow for larger files on this site. I will be trying to update the blog with a ‘usfull’ post once a month. There will be a ‘services for hire’ section on my website that will allow anyone to give me some freelance love.

UPDATE: Site is now on new Server. benarent is now on Dreamhost. This will mean that I will be able to upload videos, and be able to push a lot more content over my site.
