Jive Cloud Tools
I've been a designer at Jive Software since late 2007, so the bulk of the work I've done recently is Jive related.
In this case, the project team spent time evaluating the expectations that customers have when using our cloud management tool.
Using that knowledge, I created a clickable (albeit incomplete) prototype to facilitate the most common tasks: updating the site, and viewing reports.

Discover Jive
This is an in-application introduction for new users to Jive. It guides the user through the Jive interface in a way that ties features to a person's daily tasks at work.
The tasks are in a quest like format to make it engaging, and to instill a sense of accomplishment as a person completes them.
This design took several rounds to solidify. The walkthrough shows the various stages of design rounds.

Stayhound
Stayhound is the startup that my good friend Alexis is CEO of. I got a wild hair one weekend to comp up a new site design for her using the existing site as a guide.
She may never get around to using it, but I like how it turned out. I got a chance to play with a more saturated, graphical style, which was fun.

Jive Activity Streams
There are many (many) permutations of how a piece of activity might manifest in the Jive UI. My contribution here was to manage and make sense of all the markup, and bring a measure of consistency to the variability.
I won't lie, it took a couple of tries to get all the display code to a happy place. But, along with the missteps there were triumphs, and I learned a lot from this project.

Some canning labels
My sister has partial ownership of a fish wheel on the Copper River, which means the extended Stewart tribe can look forward to a metric crapton of salmon once a year.
I made these labels for her as a Christmas gift, to put on the jars and cans of delicious smoked treats she sends my way.

Old stuff
I've been on more projects than I can count. Like, probably at least forty thousand.
I'd like to think that I keep growing as a designer as I mature as a human being, so I'll offer up my old portfolios as proof of that.
I figure if you don't cringe at some of the things you've designed, you're probably not doing it right.
Portfolio from 2006.
From the year 2000! I was pretty proud of this one.
Did that just launch in a popup window? Yes. Yes it did.
