Contracted as a Vendor through Floodwalk and S&T Onsite, I've provided visual design, animation, copy writing, template authoring, testing for various projects and groups at Microsoft.
In 97-99, I had the opportunity to work with a group of designers and artists on this amazing, ahead-of-its-time product: Home Publishing 99. This software app enabled casual users the ability to make greeting cards, newsletters, websites, stationary, themed party sets, you name it, for output to web or print. You could start with a template designed by us, or upload images and make your own. It was really brilliant and worked. We animated Hallmark content, designed and animated original content, authored and tested thousands of templates and elements. We could only use twelve fonts, and they included Comic Sans and Papyrus. We had to wipe the machines constantly to install clean builds. It was a glorious experience.
Over the years I've also had the opportunity to work with Floodwalk Communications, designing collateral and event graphics, as well as transforming data into design for presentation material for various groups at MS.
