Windows Phone 7

I have been a member of the design integration team responsible for UI polish on Windows Phone 7 for a little over one year. My design and development skills have been significantly enhanced because of the work I've been doing at Microsoft.

This video produced by Microsoft showcases some features I was very fortunate to work on.

About Trevor Curtis

I live in West Jordan, Utah with my wife and daughter. In my spare time I enjoy taking photographs with my Nikon digital SLR, listening to LPs and CDs, and spending time with my daughter reading books. I also do some painting, calligraphy, and bookmaking.

I started getting interested in graphic design back in the days of the Apple Quadra desktop computer and Mac OS 7. I was an early subscriber of Macworld magazine and mailed away for any free information I could get from design companies. I used to go to the library and check out all the books I could on desktop publishing and design. The digital revolution was happening before my eyes. Then came the Internet. Everything changed after that.

My road to web development began in 2008 after working in IT/Tech Support for eight years. I really wanted to be a graphic designer so I enrolled in college to see if I still wanted to work in print. I took a web design class and I was hooked. Web design is exploding and I found the dynamic publishing of web pages to be even more fun and challenging than print design.

My curiousity has extended far past basic web design into web application development and mobile phone applications. I am going to focus my development work on Microsoft web and mobile technologies like ASP.NET, Silverlight, and C#.
