The best way to describe this portfolio is that it is a little bit of everything. While there are three main sections, each of the items contain multiple disciplines in their execution. I tend to think of this page as a canvas record more than a literal history. That being said, some items may or may not have relevance. They are still listed here as they speak towards the development of my skills and character.

As an avid Bible reader and PDA user, in seeing the antiquated design of the Bible+ website, I was moved to assist the developer by creating a website that would both serve the purpose of showing more people what the program is capable of, as well as looking like the program in order to create brand recognition for Bible+. A small design freshening in 2005 added usability features and some mobile accessbility to the manual and front page sections. The front page was redesigned in Summer of 2007 to the current design. The new front page addressed issues with content trimming, semantic and accessible HTML, and an emphasis on fewer image elements in order to make the design work.

I was involved with the redesign of the Prince George’s County Government website redesign and had an additional idea about the design that never made it to a client-viewable status. The goal here was to redesign the front page only, keeping the emphasis on the photos, maximizing the available screen space (regardless of resolution), and making elements of the page extendable for future use. The purpose for this design was to create an accessible and more fluid portal page that addressed needs for an increasing amount of client content.

The Nokia N-series Internet Tablet series is a group of Maemo Linux devices. A developer created the Wordply application for posting to Wordpress and Blogger blogs. I proposed a redesign of the user screens based on a linear workflow, instead of the use of tabs. In addition, I proposed the use of consistent navigation buttons and screens indicative of the user of this application and finger or stylus-based applications. This was posted at the Maemo Garage repository as a feature request for WordPly.
