Web Applications
	Threaded Discussions This project was the design of an inline, threaded, discussion application. It enables users to discuss technical articles and documentation within the context of the content. This provides a much more focused, relevant, discussion than typical Newsgroups.
	Content Management Workbench This application was designed to allow teams to author, edit, attribute and publish content. It also enables batch processing of large document sets, making tasks like replacing an attribute, relatively trivial. It is permissions based, and the interface tailors itself based on the users permissions and job role.
	Content Collections This feature allows Developers to organize, share, and annotate, large document sets from within the browser. Taking it a step further, metrics gathered on what content users collect, and how they structure it, can be used to provide a personalized experience.
	Tree Control This is a typical deliverable, referred to as a "Visual Spec." or "Redline". It serves as a architectural blueprint for the Development team to implement a design, and allows the Test team to validate the User Interface is built to Spec..
	Content Rating System The power of this rating system is not apparent from the interface alone. The rating system captures three types of data: Explicit feedback from the 1-9 rating control and comments field; behavioral data from the usage of "Print" "E-mail" and "Save to Favorites"; and deeper information from an online survey that is sent to 1 of every (n) users who elect to save or print. These three data points combine to create a truly accurate rating of content.
	Online Index These are concept sketches for an online navigation feature that allows users to find content in multiple ways.
	Super Sieve Designed as an alternative to a problematic search engine, the Super Sieve allows users direct access to content metadata via customizable filters.
	Visual Studio Start Page A very early design concept for what today would be considered a "Smart Client". This concept integrates the Visual Studio Development Environment with the online Microsoft Developer Network.
	Windows Platform SDK This is an early concept sketch for another "Smart Client". This client was designed for the next generation Windows (Longhorn) Software Development Kit.
	Search Integration The requirements for this project were to integrate the online search experience for Microsoft Developers (MSDN) with the rich client experience (Visual Studio).
