WBSE is a web application that enabled corporations to align the entire organization on their corporate strategic objectives. A key component was this map that dynamically draws related, business objectives via animation.  Through this visualization, it's quick and easy for the Executive user to determine if they are on track to meet their corporate strategic objectives or if there are problems that require immediate attention.  This application was a huge success, generating tremendous revenue and resulted in the creation of a new category of products.

Managing by exception, this map displays the culprit of the yellow status allowing the user to take immediate action to get their employee back on track, aligned and returned to a green status.

As a product design principal, I led a multidisciplinary team of UX designers, visual designers, usability engineers, user researchers, technical writers and project managers to design and develop a new web application built on top of WebSphere Portal.  Drove design from product concept to implementation by working with executives, architect, development, marketing and management.

This wizard helped novice users get started in setting their objectives, targets and thresholds. This work resulted in a US Patent for Graphically Manipulating a Database.  As points (targets, thresholds) are moved on the chart, the values in the database are dynamically updated (vs. updating the data in the backend).

Users were provided with an alternate scorecard design.  This visualization allowed the user to manage their business by exception and at a glance.

The WBCR application enabled corporations to document, assess and monitor their internal business controls framework in order to maintain SOX (Sarbanes - Oxley Act) compliance.  This was a friendly, Getting Started page.

Having a knack for solving complex design problems, this project was re-assigned to my team after the first team was unable to deliver a usable design solution. I led my team of product designers, visual designers, human factors engineers, software engineers and information developers (technical writers) to successfully deliver an implemented design solution in record time.

Directed design and development of visual language and iconography for this enterprise mail application and its "sister" products. Worked with internal design teams, external design agency, usability engineers and legal team to deliver set of 900+ approved icons on schedule.  The external agency attributed the process I developed and my project management skills to its success referring me to as the "Best Designer and Project Manager" they had ever worked with.

Developed a new UX design for an HR application to on-board new employees.

The information was displayed in a sliding drawer, so it was there when the user needed it and gone when they didn’t.

This multi-million dollar proof of concept utilized live, working code and mainframe systems to demonstrate the sophisticated technical capabilities of Systems Oriented Architecture.

Designed an early, iPAQ mobile device with an innovative UI.

Designed the user experience for multiple personas each with their own theme.  This is the Corporate User experience. This work was an enormous success. It resulted in a lucrative contract and was presented to the IBM CEO and Board of Directors.

This is a sample of the "Granny" theme and experience. It is the simplified experience for our novice user (vs. our corporate user) also created in 2000.

Designed a rich, user experience for an early tablet, type device.
