I added an item to my user experience design portfolio this week: UMass Band Parents Association - Power & Class. The group has had the same website (and interface design) since 2001. I recently took over as their web guy and I redesigned the site to meet 2013+ standards.

My Design Won “Best Website”
One of my websites was voted "Best Website" by Pi Kappa Phi fraternity. I've never won an award on my designs before and it means a lot to me.

On the Latest Redesign
It seems a redesign comes once a year or so. The last few redesigns applied to this site were products of necessity. I was trying to get a new job.. I wanted to ditch tables, etc. But this one, coming about 13 months after its predecessor, is based on nothing but boredom. I was tired […]

On Web 2.0-ness
Well, it’s springtime again. And you know what that means… a new design for this site. This one was inspired by a few big factors. One, it’s time to evolve beyond the tiny 800×600-compatible layout. Another key influence was the "web 2.0" craze out there. Let me explain that… As a designer, I do believe […]
