I was hired to build out the design team for Xuma in 1999. They started out as a strictly engineering company, but they wanted to offer a full suite of services. The design department initially consisted of one front end integrator, a design director and myself as the designer. The number of designers had increased to three by the time the company closed. During my employment, I worked with Marketing closely to produce print collateral, and converted the company intranet, which consisted of Word docs uploaded to a server, to a full fledged intranet with a look and feel. I also designed an update to the corporate site.
