Amy Morrison’s Summary

As an Information Architect, my role is to define and communicate strategic recommendations and best practices concerning the implementation of specific design and functionality elements to creative and technical teams.

Synthesizing a client’s brand strategy and the needs and expectations of the user, I am responsible for gathering and translating business and technical requirements into a holistic interactive experience. Information architecture is a communication bridge between the client, the consumer and the project team and my role is heavily focused on consensus building and collaboration.

My current engagement has included work for some of the world's biggest brands, including the Coca-Cola Company, Scott's Miracle Grow, Proctor & Gamble, Hewlett-Packard, Victoria's Secret, Steelcase, Sherwin-Williams, Endo Pharmaceuticals, NetJets Owner's Web, Select Comfort, Stanley Steemer, Hyperion, the Wexner Center for the Arts, Hexion, the Oriental Trading Company, Kohler, Shaw Industries, The Limited Brands, and L.L. Bean.

After a six-year stint as a staff writer for the St. Petersburg Times, my online career began with positions in content writing and editing, electronic content coordination and project management.

I am enrolled in the MBA program at Capital University's School of Management.
