I enjoy working with highly collaborative teams of designers and programmers adding functionality to web sites. A quality product has the following qualities; accessible information, clean interfaces, bug-less site functionality and consistency in interaction.

My work experience has exposed me to a multitude of Content Management Systems ranging from Avid to Wordpress. At the Ford Foundation I became familiar with all aspects of their custom CMS, including how to use it to re-template new sections. More recently, at Newsweek I conducted informal interviews with Producers and Editors regarding methods of streamlining the process of adding new media.

While designing and building the 70+ page site for BBI Engineering, I became an advocate for a two level navigation rather than a drop down menu. This option gave the user an "at a glance" view of the company's first and second tier landing pages as well as an understanding of the site's hierarchy. I carefully considered their content and created two ways of spotlighting finished products with a prominent image scroll-bar and keyword links in the copy. The use of those interactive techniques allowed the viewer to navigate the site in three separate methods; top navigation, image links and copy links.
