| Virginia Westray, mixed media/enamel artist and custom bookbinder, 2007 redesign. Revamped previous design to spotlight new artwork. Created animated Flash galleries for art collections, plus a streamlined table-less CSS layout. |
|
| Association of Ambulatory Behavioral Healthcare, 2007. Created graphic design and site structure for association website. I set up the site using WordPress, an open-source CMS (content management system) which will allow the association staff to make site updates themselves. Members can register and, with an approved username and password, access a members-only section. |
|
| Joanna Carichner, Singing Hands Body Therapy, 2007. I used WordPress to create a simple, easy-to-use content management system for Joanna’s bodywork and yoga practice. She can update her site easily, and she can extend its functionality as her practice grows. |
|
| University of Arizona, 2007. In order to make research reports available to audiences across the state, I created a document repository site (using Dreamweaver and PHP/MySQL). The limitation to an online collection of PDFs is reduced browsability, so I created a dynamic popup preview (CSS) for each file that draws a thumbnail image from the database. |
|
| Arizona Smoker’s Helpline, 2006. Complete redesign of website, including graphic design, information architecture, navigation, and Javascript interactivity.Where possible I try to provide users information that doesn’t require extra clicks or page redirection. For example, a definitions list provides a CSS tooltip on mouseover, and on the Frequently Asked Questions page, the answer can be opened or closed by clicking on the question; the desired view is maintained for multiple questions, even if the user prints the page. |
|
| University of Arizona, 2006. User interface design for data entry applications. The form includes embedded user assistance (CSS tooltips) as well as PDF documentation. |
|
| Intermountain Centers for Human Development, 2005. Redesign of site for nonprofit agency. Project included graphic design, information architecture, web content development, and user authentication for a staff-only section. |
|
| Virginia Westray, bookbinder and enamel artist, 2005. Graphic design, information architecture, JavaScript image gallery. |
|
| Sunnyside Unified School District, 2003. Created interactive statistics website that presents school district data via database. I included a dynamic bar graph under each data table–based on Edward Tufte’s concept of “sparklines” –to make the data easier to visualize. |
|
| GroupSystems.com, 2002. Corporate website redesign. Created new information architecture and new graphic design elements. I also created a customer support website with searchable knowledgebase, tutorials and documentation. |
