RUMBA 95/NT, Arpeggio Live, Rumba Mail Featuring 3M’s Post-it Software Notes, & Cyberprise--Server, Host, Data & Tools. Analysis of the development process showed a need to implement better strategies of communication, production & delivery of design work to the development team. After I took over managing the former design consultants, and began producing the look & feel, the resulting time and cost savings to the PD budget & the company’s bottom line was very significant.

Proprietor: With KWW, a sole proprietorship, performing tasks A through Z; I was continually shown what it takes to maintain a business - negotiations, estimates, time & resource allocations. Employing freelancers, producing graphic schemes, & presenting and delivering finished components. I learned to create new process methodologies, driving resolutions and building consensus amongst clients. I consulted with senior management to sell services & establish expectations. I developed Application interfaces for F5, created relevant icons for bioengineering software, & reproduced layouts in Publisher for Microsoft Office & HLM tapping into a strong MAC to PC design conversion market. I have had this business for years as it is not exclusive to design clients. My interests as a geologist and artist are supported through this ongoing venture.

Screen & Output Designer: My Microsoft Corporate Services tenure started with all International packaging layouts and evolved into designing, creating, and preparing screens and output primarily for all Consumer packaging projects. Our team of 3 was distributed into Consumer, Office, & Development packaging assignments yet we would share the tasks of developing visuals in advertising, assorted collateral pieces, newsletters and video productions across the divisions to share the experiences of other departments. After consulting with project team members, I composed the screen captures and created output, using Microsoft’s applications, that best represented the products’ newest features. I worked between PC and MAC platforms with Photoshop, Freehand, Pagemaker, Corel Draw, Illustrator, and numerous other graphics, screen capture, & MS applications. I worked in WFW, NT, and Win 95. I was integral in establishing image innovations & printing standards for Microsoft product packaging. I develop an electronic output process for Corporate Services, and other cross platform translation process innovations.
