About – Kimon Rethis: Enterprise Web Design and Implementation

About Kimon

I am an experienced web strategist, designer and producer with award winning work in enterprise site design and deployment.

I have a bright disposition, a dynamic personality and love to work as part of a strong team on impactful projects with positive human outcomes. With my strong written and verbal skills, I am adept at making complex technical projects understandable and achievable to stakeholders across the user spectrum. Successful cross team collaboration is demonstrably one of my strong points.

I am unique in that I combine a strong visual aesthetic from my fine art background with a deep tactical and strategic knowledge of web development and user experience design.

This tool-set and commitment to team success enables me to bring immediate and measurable value from concept to completion in achieving project excellence.

I have a vision for the future of enterprise site development.

I can relate it to the differences between the early summit expeditions in the Himalayas with large teams of porters, climbers and personnel that would take weeks of fixing rope and establishing camps versus the later “alpine” style of light, quick and fast attempts that came later. Given the right skills and plan, a single person can create a tremendous impact.

PRINCIPLES & PHILOSOPHY

I’m different.

Way different.

From my fine art background to strong academic roots I have a different, and I believe more effective way of looking at how web development should happen. It’s a perspective gained from hard earned experience in seeing the slow pace of site upgrades and feature deployment. I have passion for the potential of human interaction that the future holds and that can only come out when there is strength in the service, intelligence in the design and a commitment to what is measurable.

Passion, turns out that is pretty important to me and it drives my hunger to pursue new technologies, emergent methods and put them to use in the service of something admirable and noble.
