ThinkQuest People : Managing a School Roster
Design Enhacement
This was a recent design enhancement to a component of ThinkQuest. The old
model required page-by-page trip to the server as the
user navigates to find an account. It was painfully slow. In the new model,
we load the entire student body into one window and make it really simply for
the user to narrow down the selection and find the appropriate user.

Think.com Projects
Wireframes
Projects is a web-based application within Think.com that encourages students and teachers to work together in teams and create content. Imagine a blog with multiple authors. We took it a step beyond the blog and designed tools that better facilitate collaboration, including a vote, brainstorm and askme. Challenges in designing this module included: membership, teacher involvement, publishing, what's new, authorship tracking, and teacher content review.
New Internet Computer Company
Experience design: Interaction & Visual
New Internet Computer is a A $200 Linux Internet appliance. The company was founded by Larry Ellison. My role was to design and deliver all the elements that were needed to interact with the machine. The modules included the startup, setup and application navigation. The project later expanded to include design of the order site. I managed a team of external designers to handle all print promotion material.
