I am Blue Coda's founder and Director of Client Services, overseeing our project management and creative teams. I also manage our business development efforts carving the firm's expertise in higher education, healthcare, associations, and professional services. Additionally, part of my biz dev efforts were to cultivate our strategic partner alliances with our content management software providers. Drawing on 10 years of design and usability experience, my philosophy with clients combines user-centric designs with the latest and greatest user-friendly technologies. Over the past 8 years, I have helped grow the firm from a small design shop to an award winning full service interactive consulting firm. I like the web as you can imagine.
My background? Well, I began my career at the Vignette Corporation with the Advanced Business Analytics Group. My team developed web-based financial services tools for some really fun and impressive clients. As project manager, I was mostly responsible for all our web development and strategic planning.
I left Vignette to join Painted Word Consulting (now Palladium Es) and fine tune my consulting and usability skills. I had the opportunity to work with some amazing clients including GE, Charles Schwab, Liberty Mutual, and Cognos during my time at Painted Word.
After leaving Painted Word, I moved on to work for Liberty Mutual's Information Systems group prior to starting Blue Coda. I haven't looked back since.
My alma mater is Tufts University where I studied Human Factors Psychology and GUI design. I'm a member of MITX, Cambridge Chamber of Commerce, and the American Marketing Association Boston Chapter.
I have also served as a design judge for the EduStyle Awards as well as the MITX Interactive Awards, The International Creativity Awards, and the Web Marketing Association Awards.
When I'm not working, I play drums in a band. I'm also an avid snowboarder and kiteboarder - I guess I like extreme sports too.
Here are some sites that I frequent for various reasons.
