My primary focus at Cingular is to design and develop application based projects, including e-stores. I leverage my visual and programmatic backgrounds to deliver clear and functional solutions to a wide variety of projects. Most recently, I have moved into a more strategic role with the B2B team focusing on redesign efforts as well as user testing and product optimization. Engaged in two site redesigns and one major rebranding effort. Designed and developed the visual and HTML templates for Premier, our B2B buy flow. Designed pages for key product initiatives including the GoPhone center, Online Account Management 2.0 and the Cingular Coverage Viewer.
