Capital Advantage Inc.
This was the first dot com site I designed independent
of any other designers or contracting firms. My connection
to the site is ongoing, and, as acting webmaster I am responsible
for all updates. This site has been a growing experience
allowing me to work out the many communication issues one
can expect to encounter when designing a Corporations first
web presence.
Site Design included custom graphics, photos,
and scripting.

e401k.com
A division of Capital Advantage
Inc. This site continues to be the subject of a heated controversy
due to the fact that Fidelity Investments, one of the largest
brokers of 401k retirement plans in the country, intends
to launch a product under the name E401k.
After contacting us, and offering
to buy the name at a price substantially below it's market
value, Fidelity proceeded to trademark the name in attempts
to supersede our domain name rights.
In addition to designing the site, I was able
to use my rhetorical training in intellectual property law
to uncover key case law that spoke directly to the point
in contention, and in our favor. An exciting project, we
are due to launch March 2000.
The pages opposite are linked to the current
live page, above, and the site due for launch, pending legal
decision.

UCSF Health
A branch of UCSF's Student Academic Affairs Site, a cooperative
effort on the part of myself and other members of the Computer Assistance Program, a
division of the Office of Media Services at UC Berkeley.
One of three key organizers implementing the
SAA site, I was responsible for editing, organizing, and uploading
the work of other student designers, in addition to designing
and producing my own portions of the site.
This particular module was created without ever
meeting the clients face to face, it was redesigned several
times to meet the changing desires of changing coordinators
on the UCSF end. Another great lesson in the importance of
communication!

Graduate Division
A branch of UCSF's Student Academic Affairs Site. A site
designed by myself and other members of the Computer Assistance Program, a
division of the Office of Media Services at UC Berkeley.
One of three key organizers implementing the
SAA site, I was responsible for editing the work of other
student designers, in addition to designing and producing
my own portions of the site.
This site was handed over to me mid-design when
another student designer couldn't cope with the stress of
finals and impending site deadlines. A lesson in time management!

Interplas
This site was the first self contained
dot com site I ever implemented. The site was subcontracted
to me by Simeone Design. Over 10,000 hits later and the
client is still satisfied.
A Faustian bargain, after accepting
the contract I was forced to pit ethics against integrity,
when I discovered that I was creating a site for a company
that out sources labor for pennies on the dollar. In the
end professionalism won out.

Dole 5 A Day
Still my highest profile site to date. This
ever-changing educational corporate site was the first site
I was ever paid to produce.
Within a month of starting my internship at
Berkeley Integration Group I took over responsibility for
the production and maintenance of additions to this site.
Working directly under Dole's Vice President's of Marketing
I was responsible for creating, editing and producing the
sites monthly feature, an encyclopedic entry highlighting
fun facts about the featured fruit or vegetable.
This is where I learned the bulk of my web design
skills. At my disposal were professionally commissioned slides,
transparencies, and photographs which I learned to scan, edit
and animate.
Armed with Photoshop, GIF Construction Set,
a scanner, and a simple text editor I was able to produce
state of the art web pages that went over well with my target
audience, and promoted better nutrition to boot!
It was a joy to produce fun and interesting
sites, not to mention the positive feed back we received from
kids in classrooms around the country.
I learned a lot and I had a blast! At the time
it didn't seem to matter that I was teaching kids that salad
comes in a bag, or giving virtual tours of a salad factory!
