Information Architect Specialist IA Hard-Copy Portfolios Got IA? Let me tell you about my background and special skill set in Information Architecture, User Experience Design, and Project Management. I am looking for an appropriate match—for a full-time, permanent employment situation as an Information Architect, User Experience Designer, and Project Manager—or in a related field. Because I accomplished my undergraduate work in Information Architecture and Design, I did additional work at the graduate level, including two graduate-level degrees in Information Architecture. My graduate degrees are in Information Architecture, Navigational Systems, Project Management, and Design (my education also extends in to Product Design, Technical & Professional Writing). I can provide your organization with high-quality Information Architecture, User Experience Design, and Project Management skills. Portfolios Demonstrate IA, UXD, PM & Design Skills Hard-copy portfolios demonstrate Information Architect, User Experience Designer, and Project Management skills, including: extensive IA, UXD, PM Case Studies, IA Website Audits, IA Usability Testing Plans, Reports, Navigational Systems, and Heuristic Evaluations. Projects from real-world work experiences provided solid foundational skills, working in the professional arena. Satisfied clients gave several letters of high recommendations. Because they were satisfied and pleased with my performance on the job, doing Information Architecture, User Experience Design, Project Management (Hard-Copy Portfolios 1-5; Binders 1-5 shown below at bottom of Web page). Card Sorting Another way to collect data about end users and their requirements is doing Card Sorting (see Figure 1 below that shows what Card Sorting looks like during a session with end users). To ascertain what end users need for their Website; then do Card Sorting. ![]() Figure 1 Hard-Copy Portfolios Information Architect, PM, Corporate Training Portfolios 1-2 Information Architect, PM, Corporate Training Online Portfolios 1-2 Technical & Professional Writing Portfolio 3 Hard-Copy Portfolios IA Heuristic Evaluations Portfolio 4 Hard-Copy Portfolios IA Current Trends Portfolio 5 10.
