Project Details: Cathy worked for this mobile solutions provider for more than 18 months as a senior interface designer and project manager. Her first project upon joining Cellmania was to help redesign their ecommerce site, design the mobile internet directory, and work with developers to implement it all.

Cathy started by working with the product manager and marketing team to determine the feature set and site objectives. She organized user tasks and created a preliminary navigation model. Working with two of the UI developers, Cathy helped guide the UI design process and worked with a visual designer to create initial design prototypes. The navigation model was then expanded to a use model with detailed user interaction. Final HTML prototypes were created and given to the UI developers to implement. Cathy worked closely with the developers to ensure design integrity and then with the QA group to verify the site.

Later Cathy helped create a corporate website, designing the site architecture and working with the visual designer to create a look separate from the original Cellmania site. As the company expanded away from a ecommerce focus into a solutions provider, she created a new homepage to reflect that new emphasis and link the two sites together.
