U.S. Political Stats homepage, with a rolling feature, a persistent header with search and browse, and 4 ways to browse (by data topic, policy topic, location or person)
Featuring a 'What's inside' section which gives a description of interest groups, a pre-filtered search, and a data series selector - where users can identify what they want to see and find the relevant data
I add the election results to the interest group scores data series, and now I can see if there is a relationship between interest group scores and election outcomes.

SAGE
NAVIGATOR
Release Date: 16 April 2013
Description: A literature search and review tool, designed to aid researchers in identifying the key texts in their discipline with both an overview of the literature and an interactive chronology, which illustrates how the literature developed over time.
My role: Developed chronology of research, site functionality and interactions, defined how Navigator would fit into its parent product, defined user personas and user pathways, and conducted usability testing.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Close up of the interactive chronology of research, which shows when articles were most prominent for a discipline. For this one, there is a lot of research we are still relying on from the 1950s to 1970.
The hover overs give a detail about which article is being recommended, and a link to the article itself.
The Dubai map was particularly hard due to its inset map. The recommendation was made for an alternative, which is shown here.
Each of the recommendations in the book was geocoded so that it linked to the map, and would add itself to iPhone maps.

MA PUBLISHING
DESIGN PROJECTS
I took on all of the design roles during group projects in my MA (10 projects all together). The images here are a mixture of marketing materials for books in architecture, book covers for a book commemorating 9/11 and some images from a children's book. While none of these books were published, the companies we represented in these instances reviewed these projects and gave them the highest ratings in the class due to outstanding design work.
