Visiting Professionals: Numiko

Numiko | visiting professionals talk.


















The talk from Numiko was better than I expected. I have no intentions at this moment in time to design for screen, and so it was a comforting surprise to know that a designer doesn't necessarily need to know how to code the website, but just to know how to design for navigation, usability and general function.

The Numiko team work with another team of web developers, which makes a whole lot of sense seeing as that is their specialist area, and they concentrate on the design alone. Working with both code and design can be stressful, and one area needs to be thought about about before the other can take place, and so the designers work alongside the developers to establish the limitations and the possibilities of the design brief, without the two clashing. Numiko explained that this works well because it pushes both designers in their field of speciality and develops their skills as designers.

The kind of design they produce meets the clients needs, and is always underpinned by a strong concept.
