For me, designing an application is like writing a movie script with alternative story-lines. Actions and dialogs are described in wireframe mockups, and while developing the content a “voice” and a “personality” is crafted for the application. The last step is to set a mood by creating a theme with images and color.

QuadraMed Affinity

Toolbar redesign 2007

Redesigning the toolbars was a small part of a larger effort to improve consistency in all of QuadraMed’s applications. The new toolbars where very noticeable, and set the stage for the great user acceptance of the big changes that followed.

The original toolbars for five applications in the Affinity suite.

User interface guidelines 2007

The challenge was to standardize many software applications, written in different programming languages, and developed by separate groups over many year into a single suite of products with a similar look and feel.

Member Regulation Surveillance System

Data visualization (charts and graphs) 1999

The National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) Regulations use the Member Regulation Surveillance System (MRSS) to assist in regulating companies within the securities industry.

Before MRSS was created, regulators used desktop adding machines to analyzed company data from printed spreadsheets.

In the first phase of the project, MRSS provided users with the data online. In the second phase, MRSS performed computations and data analysis in the background, and then presented the results to the users in a series of easy to read charts and graphs. My role on the project was to design the charts and graphs.
