Every now and then we receive a project that is not only a challenge but also a rewarding experience. This is one of those projects. Revered for its simplicity, and used by Generals and High Ranking Officers of the military of the USA. This is projected provided a great experience in balancing form with function.

This project is created as a planning tool for the military. The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) needed a way to quickly browse for a deployed personnel to see where someone was currently deployed, how much time was left in their deployment, who their superiors were, where they were stationed next, and the individual who succeeded them. All while being displayed on a real time rendered map.

I wanted to provide the user with an experience of an everyday modern app, one you would see on the iPhone or iPad. I planned and designed the user interface to be as intuitive as possible, while giving them the detailed information needed for their jobs, by providing dashboards, quick looks, and side bars. I personified the user, the possible mistakes, I even took into account color blindness factors in the the colors of the application.

I had the honor of leading the product from concept, requirements, to wireframes, storyboards, mockups, prototypes, and finally assisting in the final production.
