Cathy Wang’s Summary
Interaction Designer, Information Architect, Online Marketing Consultant, Photographer.
Experienced with holistic, higher-level design as an Interaction Designer, I specialize in designing highly usable and engaging web sites and web applications. I have worked closely on projects of all sizes - taking a project from requirement gathering to execution to completion.
Highly involved in web 2.0 and online media. Experienced in developing brand strategies for conferences and events. I construct online strategies, ranging from traditional PPC campaigns, email, affiliate & viral marketing.
My wide range of experiences allows me to see the bigger picture and speak the 'right' language. I connect the business requirements to the developers, and integrate usability in marketing plans.
