me, my thoughts, and i
Rich Internet Application (WPF)
At eLumindata, we wanted a user experience that was simple, approachable, and generally different from the vast array of analytical tools. The result was an interactive experience that enabled non-technical users to perform complex multidimensional analysis. The overall expeerience consistently got rave reviews from pilot customers.

I designed and developed this website for a company that offers high-end video “retrospectives.” In addition to the visual design work, I developed a feature-rich custom video player, designed the animations, and optimized and encoded the video.

I designed and developed a Website for a new laundry valet company. The company is no longer in business but you can see screen shots below. This is a good example of my wide range of abilities: database modeling, visual design, prototyping, content development, client-side interactivity, and the ASP.NET middle tier. I was literally a one-man show on this project.
Rich Internet Application (Browser)
At TeleTech, a global leader in business process outsourcing, I designed, prototyped, and developed an entire suite of intranet applications to be used by call center agents, supervisors, and executive management. At the time, this was a cutting edge implementation of RIA: a browser-based application using JavaScript, CSS, and AJAX. This application experience really set the gold standard for interactive design at TeleTech.
Sample UI Specification
Pulte Mortgage was looking to develop an internal web-based application to help with some of their loan processes. This sample is a good example of effective medium-fidelity prototyping as part of an iterative requirements process. After gathering all the requirements from the business, I put this visual specification together. It allowed the business and end users to more clearly evaluate the proposed solution at a very early stage.
Sample Presentation
This presentation was an integral part of my effort to evangelize the benefits of Rich Internet Applications at Statera. The challenge was to communicate complex concepts in a compelling fashion to audiences that were not all that technical. The presentations were very well-received and led to several consulting engagements.

Design and Prototype
These are a couple of examples of design and prototype work. Marella was looking to refresh its Web presence with a more contemporary design. The second example was done to show how a training and fitness company could extend their workouts to the Web.
Design and Development Process
This was a presentation I gave detailing my preferred User Experience process. While my thoughts have changed a bit over time (see here), I still hold largely to this process and it reprsents a good example of my critical thinking and presentation of ideas.
