I am a designer specializing in web, graphic, and interface design. I began work in this industry in 1998, and from 2002 to 2005 I worked at Lockheed Martin doing software interface design, primarily for web applications. Because of the proprietary nature of the work done for Lockheed Martin, I am not able to show it in my portfolio.

During this time at Lockheed Martin I honed my interface design skills as the only front-end developer in a team of programmers. It was exciting to meet directly with clients as part of the software development team. We gathered requirements and then designed applications from the ground up.

As a team we collaborated on how each screen should look and function, and I interjected any display issues that I could foresee. During software design meetings I also assimilated everyone's input and developed storyboards of how the system would function. After the functionality and information architecture were determined, I created the GUI design. I made sure that it was flexible and scalable for the system, and easy to translate into the final programmed web application.

After the design was approved, I built out all of the screens in HTML, keeping in mind what sections would need to be built in blocks that could easily be swapped in and out by the developers. Then the developers took the HTML and images I provided and put the back end functionality behind it. If they encountered any display issues during this process, I was there to debug and troubleshoot the problem across multiple browsers and platforms. I also performed testing and quality control procedures, and performed application demos and training for clients. When needed, I assisted with technical writing and development of user guides.

My experience ranges from working at a small boutique design agency, to being an in-house designer for a large company. I work very well independently, but also enjoy being part of a team to accomplish excellent design and user-friendly software. I have worked in Mac, Unix, and PC environments, and I am knowledgeable of industry best practices, such as working in a development environment and then pushing a site live to production servers. I pay close attention to detail, following customer requirements such as Section 508 compliance.

Thank you for your interest in my portfolio.
