While at Blue Egg, I managed the design execution of this online magazine dedicated to sustainable (green) living. This site was driven by a content management system (Interwoven TeamSite). I collaborated continuously with the Editor-in-Chief, Product Manager, and Director of Product Development to ensure on-time delivery of this site under extraordinarily tight deadlines (concept-deployment = 5.5 months).

  • Responsible for defining a page and site structure that could be developed and deployed via Interwoven TeamSite within 2 months
  • Acted as liaison between designers and developers to ensure that proposed visual design could be successfully executed with existing technology infrastructure.
  • Educated editorial staff on structuring content for consumption by CMS.
  • Mediated issues between development and editorial teams to identify solutions.
  • Ensured all QA for front-end design and functionality
