My Work

Below you will find projects that I completed as apart of the Human-Computer Interaction Masters program at SUNY Oswego.

Roots

For this project I worked as part of the usability team to test designs passed on from the Graphical User Interface (GUI) team. Volunteers were shown designs in multiple stages of the project, including static pages and live web pages. They were assessed through task analysis and surveys to determine the ease of use of all features on the website. We also conducted research on other family tree style websites to determine successful and unsuccessful features of existing designs.

WoodWorking Prototype

For this project my task was to create a prototype for a client of their business's new website. As part of the project I created a business plan including an outline of the website's benefits for the client, an explanation of how Search Engine Optimization (SEO) would be implemented, a wireframe and a sitemap. The client was a woodworking retailer and learning center. The new site would allow customers to purchase items as well as view offered courses and register for those courses.

Park Oswe-Go

For this project I worked as part of a group with two other students. We were given 5 hours to design a mobile application. Part of the process included creating and testing prototypes to improve the design and make the application as user friendly as possible. The mobile application we designed was a parking assistant for SUNY Oswego's staff and students. Users would be able to create an account with their school ID, enabling them to reserve parking spots and purchase parking passes. The application would also have a premium service with a valet feature. In addition, we envisioned that with the implementation of RFID Chips in parking lots available parking spots could be tracked and continuously updated for the users to view and reserve.
