Boston, MassachusettsMultimedia Designer
- Developing interactive web sites for the Mind of the Market Laboratory.

Evaluation of existing sites resulted in my recommendation for the use of newer technologies such as Flash, and MP3 for audio compression. Present sites were then built with Flash, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, ImageReady, JavaScript, and other tools. Setting the goal of the lab's sites to distill the massive array of research collected from market analysis and make it presentable to any audience.
- Use of Photoshop as a tool to aid participants in the realization of a visual representation of their 'ZMET' experience. ZMET (Zaltman Metaphor Elicitation Technique) is a patented marketing research tool, exploratory in nature, that allows researchers to do interviews on consumers' thoughts and feelings on a particular topic.
