Services
I have been working on digital projects for the majority of my professional career, and bring a tremendous amount of dedication to my work. Here you may learn about how I like to work, and some of the things I can do to help make your project a success. If you feel like we’d make a great team, please get in touch.
Getting Started
Each project begins with a period of discovery, where I will take time to ask you questions about your current website or application, intended audience, stakeholders, budget, and goals for your project.
From there, the process will be dictated somewhat by the situation. Most projects follow the same basic flow: requirements, schedule creation, design exploration (including sketches), design refinement (production of lo and hi-fidelity wireframes), visual design, and on to final code production. My approach is very collaborative, and you will be given a chance to offer feedback at each stage of the process.
The Work
After the initial exploration phase, we will decide together which components to include in your project:
Requirements Assessment. I will interview key stakeholders, and understanding any strategic, technical, or conceptual needs for the project. Depending on your timeline, we can also include a more formal usability study, including one-on-one end-user interviews, page flow analysis, and weblog and database analytics.
Schedule Creation. We will create a project timeline tailored to your needs. I love to work onsite and create fast, short BHAG-style schedules (supercharge it!). Working with multiple stakeholders often means a more moderately-paced project. Whatever your situation — we’ll make it work for you.
Interaction Design & Development. This is the typical designers toolkit, which includes design sketching, wireframing, and visual production in Photoshop. It also may include front-end code production in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I have a well-developed production framework to draw from, which means I can generally code a site very clean and very fast. I also love PHP and MySQL, so if you need an application built, I can do that too.
