Alan Colville

User Experience Consultant
Expertise: Customer Experience

BIO

I'm a Product Experience consultant, speaker, author, husband, and father of two beautiful girls, living in Bristol, UK. Recently, I co-founded Analog Coop and Mapalong.

I've previously worked as a UX consultant for RIM, Visa, Nokia and Vodafone. I've also been head of UX for BT Vision. A senior commercial manager for digital TV at Virgin Media, where I led the design of video on demand, and personal video recorder services used by millions of people.

Most recently, I spoke at UX Bristol and Agile Cambridge. I've published on 52 Weeks of UX, and UX Booth. I've had the pleasure of featuring in Simple and Usable by Giles Colborne. This is where I share my thoughts - alancolville.org.

When I'm not designing, you might catch a glimpse of me biking up mountains or running down them, not necessarily sequentially.
