Senior User Experience Strategist and Principal
Slingthought
(Internet industry)
February 2004 — February 2009 (5 years 1 month)
"Operating and managing Slingthought has given me the opportunity to bring my collective experiences together to focus on User Experience Strategy. My multidisciplinary approach enables me to bridge gaps between strategy, information architecture, and visual design. I’ve gained a greater perspective on what it takes to develop client relationships, create rapid tools for communicating Web strategies, and most importantly deliver confidence to a wide range of clients and business partners.”

Senior User Experience Strategist
Align Interactive formerly i5
(Internet industry)
February 2005 — August 2008 (3 years 7 months)
"I had the opportunity to contribute to the marketing and positioning of a start-up interactive agency while pushing the limits of my rapid prototyping techniques for several clients. Since the team was nimble, I played several roles within the company working as a strategist, information architect and designer, an experience which allowed me to fire on all cylinders."
Clients I had the good fortune of working with:
Arnold Classic, ArmedForcesGiftShop.com, Best Home Medical, Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, Corporate Team Professionals, Jack Hannah, OSU Alumni Association, Pacer Global, Nationwide Insurance, Ohio’s Division of Wildlife, White Castle -
Senior Information Architect
Shift Global
(Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Internet industry)
2004 — 2005 (1 year)
"During my experiences with Shift I gained exposure to working with global project teams. I collaborated, managed project work and drove creative direction with teams in Bulgaria, the UK, and several major cities across the United States. Not a single client was located in Columbus, so I quickly developed virtual project team techniques. A majority of the work was Flash-based, so I adopted an appreciation for time-based and more interactive experience design.”
Clients I had the good fortune of working with:
Bacardi USA and Bacardi Global, Dewars, Bacardi Mojito, Panasonic Toughbooks, HomecareDelivered.com, Nielsen NetRatings, Liberty Mutual, Comdata -
Corporate Communications Web Manager
OCLC
(Non-Profit; 1001-5000 employees; Libraries industry)
2003 — 2004 (1 year)
"This position gave me perspective on leading large Web initiatives from within a corporate setting. I had previously worked on the other side of the fence pitching work to corporations, so it helped me relate to the challenges of working within budgets, overcoming political hurdles, and navigating the company hierarchy to move projects forward. This was also my first taste of managing a team of 5 employees and being held accountable for their performance.”
OCLC Services I had the good fortune of working with:
WorldCat, FirstSearch, NetLibrary, Dewey Decimal Classification Services, ContentDM, WebJunction -
Information Architect
Resource Interactive
(Privately Held; 51-200 employees; Marketing and Advertising industry)
2000 — 2003 (3 years)
"In this role I quickly learned the politics of working within collaborative teams on large-scale Web initiatives. It was here that I also learned the art of pitching and selling ideas to executives. I appreciate the trust that I developed with colleagues that I still keep in touch with today and the exposure I had working with powerful and influential client brands."
Clients I had the good fortune of working with:
LimitedBrands, HP, Ford, Match.com, Rand McNally, Wendy’s, Huntington, Nationwide Insurance
