Client list


project ::::
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA)
"Career Competency Assessment Tool"

DESCRIPTION ::::
Online certification application for public accountants and members of AICPA.

ROLE ::::
Application design and information architecture. I was subcontracted by Fusive.com to act as the "lead" creative designer for the project.

OVERVIEW ::::
I had previously worked on a pitch proposal while with Fusive for AICPA that contained some rough ideas for our recommendation of redesigning their then current online assessment tool. Few months pass by, I end up getting laid-off along with most of my creative staff, then magically, 6 months later, AICPA decides to use Fusive after to rebuild the app. Ring, ring, a few phones calls later, and I'm flying to NY to meet with the client pretending to be an employee for the company the laid me off. Isn't life grand? Good freelance gig overall, and a great experience. I had to wear a lot of hats because the the business use-cases needed to be turned into IA, and there was no middle layer between that and the design (in terms of a role on the team), so it ended up being all on me.


Initial Comps ::::

Here's some of the original screens for the initial comps to the client. The core of the app is the "Assessment" screen, which is the the interface users use to chart their career planning goals.
