The following represents my current body of work. It may seem a bit eclectic at times, but I see it as a rather rounded approach to understanding and designing for people. People like you and me who crave information and don't want anything holding it up, hiding it, or overly complicating it. It can be pretty or even fun just as long as you give it to us straight.

You can also take a look at my résumé if you are so inclined.

Overview

Fry, Inc., headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan, is a leader in eCommerce solutions.

Projects

The full deliverables for these projects are confidential and so I am only able to provide a cursory overview.

  • Collaborated in the analysis of a multi-site client project for invitations and personalized paper goods. Developed an innovative taxonomy based on a chronology of actions in place of a traditional product-based organization. The new taxonomy is currently being incorporated into the redesigned websites.
  • Developed a usability testing plan and materials to be used quarterly in gaining insights into consumer behavior and shopping trends.
  • Created conceptual designs based on research and competitive analysis that seeks to support different shopping behaviors such as browsing, comparison shopping, and recurring purchases.
  • Produced functional specifications, wireframes, and flow diagrams for various client projects.
