  On my return to London, the main project was lloyds.com, the online market place of the renowned insurers. This was the first truly Global Distributed Delivery project for Sapient.

Lee Woodard’s Education

• Middlesex University

  MA , Design for Interactive Media , 1993 — 1994

  The Design for Interactive Media course at Middlesex was the first in the UK. I was in the second ever intake. The skills we developed in Interaction Design, have now come full circle with the penetration of broadband and marketing/advertising spending more online and the need to engage consumers.
  
  My final project, 'SellNet' in it's own way played with the themes of social networking, social bookmarking, consumer engagement through transactions and online fraud!
