   KAS's Blurbs
About me:

I love this quote;

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be - brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world.

There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so small that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in us, it's in everyone.

As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Marianne Williamson, 1992.

How its going

Thanks for all the comments; my business is going so well I've just opened an office in Delaware. Next year I've got project work in North America (Ohio, New York), Brazil and China. So thanks for all the encouragements.

What I do!

While I am not only what I do, it takes such an enormous amount of my time up that I should talk about it.

I am interested in People’s interpretation of technology, how they discover, rationalise and reuse it to suit their environments, goals and lifestyles.

I work as an Information Architect (and CEO) which is a multi-disciplinary role interpreting high-level requirements in order to design the overall user experience of an interactive media. Analyses of existing portals intended purpose, objectives, audiences and content in order to devise an appropriate redesign. This includes organising content, specifying navigation and functionality, and designing the layout of user interfaces. And authoring scoping documentation, full functional specifications devising metadata schemas, intuitive user interfaces, end-user features, designing systems of user interaction to form site maps, wire-frame diagrams for AGILE XP developments.

  • Information Architecture, Audits, Taxonomy, Site Maps, Wire Frames
  • User centred design, usability, eye tracking, user testing
  • Internet data analysis / analytics (webtrends,nedstats), SEO, SEM, affiliate marketing
  • Project management, AGILE (scrum, XP), vendor management, cost planning, tender appraisal
  • Key domains: Banking (offshore), Tourism, Transport, Government, FMCG (Ladies Fashion), Charity

Other Stuff

  • Scala Cinema, London - well before shutdown
  • London Film Makers Co-Operative - hanging around mainly, but cool none the less

Poetry - Care

Looking into the eyes of your soul;
you walk slowly
deliberately

Feeling your way
without disclosure
bereft of notion
Isolated by fear

Space and freedom encircle you
denying righteousness
relieving you . . . .

Of life, is your desire . . . .
to hold and comfort
by design Retreat - Save - Dare

And then perhaps


CARE !

Karl Smith © June 1990.

Poetry - Just a dream !


Close your eyes and dream
open your mind and feel
reach out your heart and love
love and learn to dream
dream and create a new world
in a new world open your eyes
speak of your dream, so others may
close their eyes
and begin to dream


Poetry - Let no


Let no government stand in the way of its peoples Faith
Let no faith stand in the way of its peoples Freedom

Let no Ideal Confine the Hopes of people
Nor Hopes provide a way to remove peoples Ideals

Who I'd like to meet:
Just people, I'm not looking for a date. People to hang out with, have pointless but interesting conversations with, who will expand my knowledge and make me think.
