Kitchen Daily

Role: Art Direction, Visual Design
Lead design of the KitchenDaily site from concept to execution. Worked with product, editorial and UI teams to define the KitchenDaily user experience to meet the needs of a busy mom. Created the initial visual design and oversaw a team of designers executing on the final look and feel. Other contributions to site design included competitive analysis, creating personas, sketching concepts, facilitating brainstorming sessions between team members and site feature enhancements.

Role: Art Direction
Oversaw the visual design of the blog and the branding for ShelterPop. Worked with multiple designers to explore different design solutions that spoke to the fun and friendly tone of the site as well as keeping it visually related to the look and feel of AOL Home. I also created graphics for the category bugs and promotions.

AOL Home Site Design

January 14th, 2008

Role: Art Direction, Visual Design

AOL Home brings users the best home-related content on the web. I managed multiple designers exploring various design options and ultimately designed final look and feel. Special shout out to Dave Balogh who was writing the CSS for the site while I was still working on the design. Our collaboration saved weeks of time in this project.
