chromatic.net: erik gibb's professional stuff: cover letter

I'm not a typical web designer.

My information architecture, usability, design, dhtml, javascript, and problem-solving skills have proven effective in multiple settings, including agency, freelance, and as a team player. I'm a fast learner, and enjoy brainstorming and implementing creative and fast solutions for unique challenges.

I am a user experience and information architect with demonstrable experience in the entire web application development cycle, from requirements gathering and analysis to end product design. I build rich user experience documentation that is easily understandable to all audiences: Executive staff, sales and marketing, engineering, graphic designers, html jocks, and end users. As required, I can take this further using it as a basis for paper prototypes or functional mockups as proof of concept or as part of the user centered design process. After working through the findings of this feedback loop I can finish by building the templates required to power the end product and performing usability evaluations for to prepare for the next iteration.

Currently I am at Modem Media/Digitas, teaming with experts in traditional and interactive marketing design; strategists, designers, and technologists to create, build, and sell world-class experiences for the biggest and best-known brands in the world.
