About Me
I am a consultant working in the areas of Information Architecture and User Experience Design, I have spent the last few years in the enterprise application development market, but am looking to branch out into servicing to small to mid size companies.
I hold a bachelor's degree with a dual major in Multimedia Studies and Graphic Design from Northeastern University.
I spent the last 7 years in New England and have recently relocated to the Chicago Metro Area. I am interested in both Chicago based clients and telecommute opportunities.
Style, outlook and the way I work
Trying to shake up the world of information architecture and user experience design, by providing new ways of thinking, my goal is to work faster, better and smarter to produce applications that work for real people. I believe that Information Architecture should be a journey and I try to involve and inspire my clients to be more user centered in their decision making and business pratices.
Focusing on Rich Internet Application models and methods of design, I strive to be bold and different in the way I “design and document”; “communicate and collaborate”; and “live and work.” I am not of the school that wire frames and sitemaps should be dull and grayscale, my documentation style is meant to provoke conversation, invoke collaboration and market thoughtful ideas that work for real companies.
