Industry Experience
Expedia, Interaction Designer, 8/05-now
Designing for the travel industry is very challenging yet also very rewarding. I create interactive user experience products that are engaging, intuitive, and user focused. I am involved in all phases of the design process - brainstorming and concept ideation, information architecture and wire frame creation, HTML, CSS, and Flash prototyping for usability testing, iterative design cycles, and final visual design.
I work with many different people in a fast paced environment. I constantly use my strong professional communication and presentation skills along with my abilities to manage multiple projects simultaneously, and pay attention to detail. I present, justify, and defend my ideas and solutions to coworkers, business sponsors and members of the executive team. I strive to maintain an even keeled respectful demeanor at all times.
