Amazon.com kindle e-books

Web site: amazon.com

I was hired on by Amazon to help work on content for their Kindle Fire at the time it was released, then again months later. The team I was on programmed children's picture e-books, comics, cookbooks, and others so they would work right on the Kindle Fire.

Some of the books I helped work on (out of hundreds):

• A Smart Girl's Guide to Manners
• An Awesome Book of Thanks!
• A Christmas Carol (picture book edition)
• Just Being Audrey
• What's So Bad About Gasoline?

The Seattle Times

Web site: seattletimes.com

I worked for The Seattle Times Company for two years, working as Web Designer for both the news and marketplace websites.

One of the projects I worked on for them was the home page re-design of seattletimes.com. I worked extensively on the new global stylesheet, organizing and thinking through classes and styles that will be used for years onward. I also helped build the structure for the homepage. When we launched I had cut down the amount of CSS (style code) 75% and page load time decreased.
