While I was an Associate Creative Director at frog, I had the honor of consulting on UX for a redesign of frogdesign.com. Andreas Markdalen, a frog Creative Director, had developed a striking, highly visual system for showing off the firm's portfolio of work. My IxD colleague Jeff Weir and I were brought in to work together on the following:
• Analyze the foundational designs and ensure an effective and consistent interaction design language
• Extend the foundational design system to a complete specification for build
• Ensure alignment between design intent and build

Samples of IxD documentation from the project:
I owned the sitemap and designed it to give the team, especially developers, clarity on scope and outstanding issues.

Jeff and I worked together to break the foundational page designs into a system of templates and components. Then we created detailed component documentation for developers and content creators to ensure alignment between design intent and build.
