Project Manangement
Many of the projects on which I've worked I've been the one making schedules, enforcing deadlines, encouraging team members, and making the game plan.
Belkin
At Belkin in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. During my three and a half month experience mainly working in Belkin's networking products division, I assumed a number of roles including: Product Marketing Manager, User Experience Designer, User Experience Researcher, and Project Manager. I was the point of contact between the Los Angeles and Amsterdam offices for the marketing needs of an upcoming product and was responsible for ensuring the timely European launch. Additionally, I worked closely with both the branding and graphic design teams to product effective, multi-lingual packaging and coordinated a German market research project with an outside firm.
Talking Points
This project seeks to develop a prototype an urban orientation and contextual information system, which utilizes an Internet-connected mobile device, a social online database, and Bluetooth beacons positioned around a city. The idea is to provide relevant information to a user as they approach a location equipped with a "Talking Point." My roles in this project are user experience designer and project manager.
