At Curl I acted as usability resource
for this company that of 140. Responsible for all aspects of user
experience for Curl. This included Surge, the plug-in that complies
and runs Curl content, Surge Lab, the development environment for
the Curl language, and the Curl web site. I also designed and evaluated
the user experience of demonstration programs and custom web applications.
I supervised and advised junior product designer who conducted
usability tests and redesigned products and I adevised graphic
artists on artwork needs, design criteria, and technical requirements
At Curl I worked at an enormous range of projects. My work for
Curl was comprised of two categories of work: design of development
tools for the Curl
language and design of demonstrations
of Curl.
The components of the development environment demanded straightforward
designs that adhered to user expectations and platform standards.
Some of the demonstrations were prepared to attract customers
and appear on the Curl web site. Others were prepared under tight
time constraints in response to a request from a specific company
interested in Curl. In general the demonstrations are designed
with the aesthetics of the web and use a richer visual vocabulary
