I have over 9 years of experience managing complex projects and relationships.
Since I started freelancing in January of 2004, I've worked on fantastic projects with Apple Computer, Hot Studio, odopod, frog design, and Factor Design.
I am currently contracted FT at Hot Studio. I also recently finished the first draft of my first novel.
Prior to launching my freelance career I was at frog design for almost 3 years as a Senior Producer. During my tenure at frog I managed over 40 projects ranging from brand strategy to industrial design to massive design systems for software and websites. I was also the acting Account Manager for Sun Microsystems for over 2 years, helping to grow the account from one project into a multi-million dollar partnership.
While at Rare Medium, Inc., I was a Producer and then Solution Partner (account manager), leading teams of up to 20 members on web site and software application projects. I became skilled at working with and presenting to C-level stakeholders, as well as versed in the art of gathering and prioritizing business and user objectives.
Before that, I was an Associate Project Manager at Mann Consulting Multimedia, a local San Francisco firm. (Ask me about their product ReviewManager – I am still a big fan.) And even before THAT, before I moved to San Francisco in 1994, I opened a café with another woman in San Antonio, TX, at the ripe old age of 20.
All of this work experience is supplemented by my advanced knowledge of user-centered design processes and technical know-how, as well as my background in print production. My love of writing (fiction and non-) and my compulsive documenting of San Francisco life via photography keep my creative juices flowing.
