Work at Pearson Education

Pearson Education is where I currently work as an Interaction Designer.

My daily activities involve brainstorming with product/project managers and user interface designers about the requirement for user interfaces of internal management tools and education-related web sites. If I’m not talking to business analyst about new ideas, I’m gathering information with real users of Pearson products or contextual inquiries to refine personas.

I am generally designing task flows (big or small) and annotated wireframes for the forementioned products alongside other designers within Pearson’s User Experience team. When I am not doing any of this,  I am either preparing the script for a usability test or actually conducting it.

I am also currently working on an interaction design pattern library as part of a new initiative within the company that began in 2009 and has now one live (as of June 2010).

Unfortunately, this is as much as I can currently disclose publicly. By contract, I cannot publish any details on currently pending projects.

Nevertheless, I keep a collection of some of the sketches I create on a near-daily basis (which inform most of my designs at work). They are available in this Flickr photo set.

Feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss any of my current activities within Pearson Education.
