I worked as a creative director for this innovative digital signage company for six years. It employs a unique rapid development process that involves a diverse set of skills in India and a 24 hour iteration. Each morning i reviewed, each afternoon i gathered feedback and each evening i wrote specifications.

It was here that i learned the value of a clear specification and that i had a passion for products and UX/UI Design. It became clear that when a team puts their head together and works rapidly toward the same goal a great deal can be accomplished. With the help of the team I designed a portal for creating and publishing digital signage content, many portals for the trade show industry including improvements to the Interactive Wayfinder UI. The Wayfinder had an online and mobile planner component which allowed attendees to save their favorite sessions and booths.
