Improving the
Online Experience

I have a passion for user-centered design and iterative design processes. I have over twenty years of design experience.

I enjoy improving the design and usability of native applications, enterprise software and web-based applications.

I have been successful both as a senior individual contributor and as a team manager. I have successfully managed several projects from start to finish. My design process includes comparative and data analysis, gathering requirements, defining and documenting feature specifications, and then developing and testing designs by creating interaction wire frames and HTML mock-ups.

The images here are offered as highlights to indicate the kind of work I have done. Detailed examples are available upon request.

Recent Work:

TeeBeeDee is an online social networking platform for the over forty market. TeeBeeDee members come to exchange information and connect with each other. I am currently the Senior Information Architect at TeeBeeDee and over the last year I have contributed to the following projects and features:

♦ Personal Messaging
♦ Member Groups
♦ TeeBeeDee Scripts
♦ Profile Enhancements
♦ Browsing Members

As well as a major site redesign that moved TeeBeeDee from a traditional Table of Contents organization to a user generated tag based navigation.
