For a while, I served as the sole designer for the application security startup, nVisium. I led all the design efforts for the company — ranging from web front-end development and branding to media editing and production.
(And this is also where I discovered my passion for privacy & security.)
Working with our Director of Engineering, I designed and developed the front-end portion of the company's website, moving it from the generic Bootstrap 3 template and into my custom layouts. This spanned across two major iterations and many minor feature additions over time.
By introducing a new set of mobile-friendly layouts and information architecture, I managed to improve the loading speed fourfold.
(If you're curious about what the website looked like before the redesign, here's a link to an archived version that was captured just before my arrival.)
To help market the company's brand, I created a mascot that's used across various digital and print materials — whether it's a victorious pose on a t-shirt that's given out to attendees of our expert training, or a troubled look when website visitors stumbled upon a missing page.
Without further ado, I'd like to introduce you to nVisbot.
My security colleagues also conduct research on industry trends as a part of their work. If there are interesting data points or findings, I try to capture them in the form of an infographic or visualization to add some more flavor to the report, blog post, or demo video.
It's all about adding some fun for the folks in the field and making serious topics more digestible for the average audience.
