Create
In the create phase, it’s time to pull out Photoshop, Sketch, your favorite code editor, a cup of tea and get to work. Although the final deliverables are often finished designs, this phase has lots of iterations as well. Often down to a single pixel level. The small sampling of work listed below is categorized by the project.
Infinity
Tired of an aging multi product paradigm, my team was tasked with reimagining how our users interact with Webtrends. Through extensive iterative design and user testing, a very flexible visual and interactive language was created that allows users to easily understand where they are, and how to interact with what they see, even if they haven’t used the application before.
Webtrends
The dashboard concept. The top two visualizations were real time.
Webtrends
Because they contained multiple objects, tracked properties where referred to as Collections
Webtrends
When viewing a Collection, it operated like a dashboard for that specific property.
Webtrends
Similar to IFTTT, we created a tool to perform actions when certain data triggers happened.
Webtrends
The information stored in Infinity was also used to power stand alone wall based visualizations we designed (Campaign Streams in this case).
Webtrends
Not an exciting screen, but basic administration screens need thoughful design and attention too.
Herald
What if you didn’t have to login to your computer to find out real time updates to your website traffic and Webtrends proactively let you know something was worth looking at? That was the idea I used to create the concept of “Herald” – an app that you install on your phone to let you know when your chosen metrics are hit on key reports.
Webtrends
After being alerted via push notification, users get details about the metric alert.
Webtrends
Multiple alerts can be created. To reduce noise, they can be toggled as active or not.
Webtrends
Individual details for the alerts can be viewed
McAfee Total Protection
While this is admittedly a bit old (so many gradients!), I list it here due to the complexity involved, and the massive scope of release. ToPS was a product that enabled small businesses the ability to manage their security environment without the need for costly server overhead. Partnering with another designer, we were able to create an entirely new experience, from desktop to server.
McAfee
The server administrator dashboard. Just look at those gradients and light sources! This dashboard was configurable by the user to show the information most relevant to them.

Our testing showed that desktop alerts were routinely ignored. Our aim to was to create an alert that could be obvious, but not interrupt the work the user was doing.
McAfee
The development team was overseas, so our specifications had to be very detailed.
