Viasat Virtual Event Experiences
STRATEGY / USER INTERFACE DESIGN / ART DIRECTION
When COVID hit, I helped the Viasat events team pivot from physical to virtual events. I not only was the lead (and sole) creative on the effort, I also researched and helped determine the best tools for our purposes, which started with webinars and continued with multi-day Viasat-hosted events.
​
One of my challenges was to create highly modular templates that would be easy even for a non-designer to use. That meant limitations to the design, but an elegant, branded, successful solution nonetheless. An example is the template shown below, for a landing page for corporate virtual events.
Viasat User Interfaces
USER INTERFACE DESIGN / STRATEGY / ART DIRECTION / CREATIVE DIRECTION
Over the years, I designed or art directed or was the creative lead for several products or user interfaces at Viasat. Three are noted below: Viasat virtual event experiences, the Viasat website, and a company-wide marketing/sales tool.

Viasat Website
ART DIRECTION / INTERFACE DESIGN / BRANDING
I led the visual branding for this 120+ page website catering to many different audiences. I worked closely with the UX and product design team to define the visual design system across the whole website, and created style guidelines specifically for the website for photography, iconography, illustration, typography, and layout.
Viasat Corporate Sales Tool
CREATIVE DIRECTION / ART DIRECTION / STRATEGY
Given the complexity of the company, and the propensity for salespeople to be focused on their business areas, we needed a simple tool to help salespeople communicate the various capabilities of the company to potential customers and partners at events and on the road. I worked with an interaction and animation team to create this. The main application was on a tablet, but it was also run on larger interactive screens at trade shows.
