Taopix appoint head of product design [Newcastle Evening Chronicle (England)](Newcastle Evening Chronicle (England) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) TAT OPIX, the Newcastle-headquartered manufacturer of photobook and gift software platforms, has appointed Stu Marlow as head of product design. Stu brings with him more than 17 years of digital design and marketing experience, specialising in user experience and user interface design. His appointment reinvigorates Taopix's passion for creating effortless, delightful experiences by cementing a collaborative, usercentred approach to digital product design into the company's development process. James Gray, Taopix chief executive, said: "We're always pushing to further improve the experience for consumers using our software platforms to order and create personalised photo gifts. We're passionate about product design and we're delighted to have someone as talented as Stu on board with our creative and development teams here at Taopix. "Stu has been instrumental this year in helping us to design new and seamless user journeys for both our HTML5-based software, Taopix Online, and new Taopix Mobile. When designing Version 5, we focused on removing as much distraction from the user journey as possible. "The aim for this version has always been to open up the platform to be useable on all devices and in whatever situations they might be used in, thus hugely expanding the potential volume for its use. This is something that, with Stu's help, we've been able to achieve for Taopix Version 5 and we're looking to extend even further in our 2015 release and beyond. We look forward to Stu playing a key role in taking Taopix product design to the next level." Speaking from Taopix's HQ, where the team are gearing up for their latest product launch, Stu said: "My passion is for design that not only creates experiences that are beautifully simple and effective, but that are also enjoyable and memorable. "Joining the team at Taopix is an absolute dream for me - it's a rare opportunity to be able to apply that passion to a truly remarkable family of products.
