Hi, I'm Keri-Lynn. Not Keri, or Carrie, and certainly not Carolyn or Lynn. I love to create great Designs and User Experiences and then make them even better.

My new portfolio section is completed and a work in progress. You can see some of my design work and samples by clicking on the Portfolio menu item or Portfolio link. You can also still view my Flash Portfolio by clicking on the Flash Portfolio link here or it's accesible through the Links drop-down menu.

What Do I Do?

I am a Creative Director, User Experience Designer / Director, Usability Specialist, Senior Information Architect and Senior Interaction Designer. I am someone who loves the web, design, beauty and things that are enjoyable and easy to navigate and use. I am as excited by smart mark-up and clever CSS as I am by the single pixel that makes that button perfect. I think that simplistic, graphically enhanced User Experiences are the way to go.

Versatile

There are several things that make me versatile including:

• Accomplished designer, creative director, user experience generalist with sixteen years of experience in information architecture, interaction design, visual design, illustration, animation, 3D and project management.

Extensive Skill-Set

My extensive skill-set includes:

• The unique ability to take a project from high-level product mapping, to wirefames, to Photoshop mockups, to production-quality HTML/CSS prototypes.

Equal

I have equal amounts of experience in:

• I have equal amounts of experience working in start-up and corporate environments.

Expertise

My expertise includes:

• Extensive expertise in the architecture and design of complex, web-based/SaaS applications for both enterprise and consumer audiences.

What I Strive for Professionally

My professional needs include:

• I think a great work environment, talented co-workers and the opportunity to contribute to something outstanding is what is most important in my career. That is without a doubt what has proven to be most difficult in obtaining. I always want more professionally. Not necessarily things or money, but I want to learn more and constantly get better. I want to keep the pressure up. I want to take on the toughest challenges. That's how I constantly improve my skills and knowledgebase and stay interested and driven in all aspects of design, UX and UI.

My Personality & Sense of Humor . . . Unless You Call Me Keri!

I have been called serious when I need to be but fun at the same time. I love the idea of working with people that are brilliant; whom I admire and respect. I know and understand what it means to work as a team to make something great. I look forward to making my next opportunity better by my addition and skills.

In this life, in this world there is so much to be interested in, to learn about, and to pour one’s creativity into. I enjoy most four-legged animals, walking, boating, socializing with friends, reading, aquariums, Lego, computers, video games, drawing, photography, lot's of daily laughter and traveling. There are a million things I want to try, to do, to be better at. There is never enough time in the day, week, or year for everything; though I’m really trying. Also, one day I dream and hope to be featured on the website, People of WalMart.com. Just kidding. Hmm, maybe not - a girl's got to have her priorities and dreams in order.

Also, It probably seems like I keep trying to reinforce this whole my name is KERI-LYNN NOT KERI thing and I was recently working someplace and every day that I was there someone called me Keri and it isn't my name. I take it as extremely disrespectful to be constantly called a name which isn't mine. That particular disrespectful and horrifying experience has scarred me deeply. Enough was enough in that enviroment.
