The dot.com boom offered great opportunities for me to learn quickly, make deep contributions to an organization, and explore different industries and companies.

Course Technology

Course Technology developed online courseware to complement Thomson Learning’s textbooks. In addition to user interface design for their products, I integrated usability testing into the development cycle and completed some exploratory work for Thomson’s re-branding campaign. Course Technology was merged with Wave Technologies in 2000.

Interface for desktop application

Strong Numbers

The last start-up I did work for was Strong Numbers, a company that tracked cost data for consumers to help them decide when and where to buy select products. My role included interface design for a new B2B product called Marketview, as well as branding work.

Visualizing data was an important component of MarketView's product differentiation

The web interface had to offer the ability to manipulate and download information.
