SUMMARY
My goal is to create success for a company through innovative and strategic
development of user experience architecture. I have a high degree of
creativity and interaction design. I am able to perform goal-oriented,
strategic problem solving through user experience. I have almost 10 years
of experience working on navigation design, interaction design, information
architecture and the best practices for online content presentation and
optimization. Using software like Protoshare, Omnigraffle, and Adobe
Fireworks, I communicate design concepts and business objectives. I have
worked on projects featuring process analysis, taxonomy development, and
CMS. I am a demonstrated team player with a high attention to detail and I
have the ability to present ideas and concepts effectively. You will see
from my portfolio of work and interaction samples that I strive for
excellence in quality and usability, and seek to invite the user to engage
using rewarding and pleasant interaction.
