Some of my larger projects...

Designing/Architecting Keynote
Demos for Microsoft events

I designed the interface for an RFID demo
used to showcase Visual Studio 2005 for TechED 2005 in Orlando Florida. I worked with developers programming VB.NET and was also in charge of the layout of the many .NET controls.

I also designed the layout and content-flow for the Visual Studio2005 / SQL Server2005 / BizTalk2006 keynote demo featuring Steve Balmer. I designed the Interface and sleeve design for a Visual Studio 2005 DVD Resource Kit distributed to thousands of Windows developers.

E-commerce web site for Abundant Big & Tall.

An e-commerce web site selling clothing.
I supervised all shopping-cart development in ASP, was in charge of layout, design, copy, photography, usability, search-optimization and content-architecture. The site had several hundred product pages, and received thousands of page-views and several hundred transactions daily.

E-commerce web site for Avventura Shoes.

An e-commerce web site selling Italian footwear and jackets.
This e-commerce site operated with a PHP/My SQL-based shopping cart. First, I architected the content-flow and built a wireframe to test the site features. I supervised the development team to code the functionalities my client needed, and acted as lead creative on the project, designing the layout and supervising a small design team. Finally, I conducted user-testing on the site and adjusted the layout and navigation for usability, and optimized the copy and tags for search-rankings.
