MSN9 Parental
Controls |

|

I stepped up and took over the design
responsibilities mid-cycle for Parental Controls and quickly
familiarized myself with the some of the challenges of the product.
I sat down with PM's from MSN 10 and discussed and brainstormed
ideas for upcoming features. By doing these things I was able to
have a positive impact on the product. Contributions - Interaction

I developed several interactive kiosks by working
with other designers to gather, organize, and set up templates to
showcase thumbnails and screen shots. In addition to creating the
screens and creating the flash media, I cut out monitor signs,
uploaded kiosks on machines, and manned the booths.

On this project I brought creative energy to the
table and helped the team think out of the box. I was able to
handle criticism through various iterations and moved forward coming
up with good alternative solutions. Unfortunately the business case
had issues and the project did not get the green light from upper
management. Some of the work was leveraged as a creative resource
for a preliminary version of MY MSN

MSN Kidz Experience |

Leveraging work I had done on Customizable Flash
modules, I drove the design of main module on the Kidz Website.
Richard Bray (MSN GM) showed the Kidz homepage at a Microsoft
company meeting and used it as an example of some of the cool stuff
that was being launched for MSN8.

I was a key player in an effort to create richer
more engaging media on MSN. I used Flash and leveraged a 3rd party
application ( MetaStories) to create rich media templates that
content editors could easily manage and update. I evangelized and
worked with my peers to establish a quality bar for this process
across the network. Contributions: Interaction Design; Visual

Worked vigorously to create a vision for EV3. I was
pulled into key presentations with VP's to explain design strategy
and processes for implementation. Some of the ideas and methods that
were introduced here led to process for creating the Network FLIP

Drove visual experience for MSN High-Speed across
