Role: Director of User Experience
As Director of User Experience at Gather.com, a social media website, I designed and managed all aspects of Gather.com's information architecture and product planning from their alpha release in 2005 through many product updates continuing in to 2008. Feature design highlights include content editor, video publishing, image gallery management, connection and friend controls, user profiles, invitation and membership registration, and an advanced search platform. Gather also offers a unique point reward system and advertising platform. During my time at Gather I witnessed the membership grow from a few dozen early adopters to nearly a half million members.
