Designing for Nielsen

Working at Nielsen
I worked with The Nielsen Company for four years. I started as a contractor to begin their User Experience work for a rebuild of their main reporting platform. The original contract was 6-months and continued to extend as more projects came along. After 2 years, I was brought on as an employee and continued working on their TV reporting and dashboard programs.

Project Summary
Soon after Nielsen purchased Arbitron radio metrics, I was tasked with bringing their applications into the MediaView Framework. The projects were not a complete rewrite or re-design of the tools, but more of a makeover. I was able to work with their teams to share how our MediaView framework was flexible enough to take on all of their demanding applications' needs.
- - Re-theming of existing Arbitron applications
- - Minimal re-work for developers to configure workflow patterns
Nielsen White Paper
Project Summary:
In 2014, our organization within Nielsen was tasked with writing white papers/technical documents. I submitted a few ideas and was asked to create the paper about Wireframing for Teams. This was based on my work with the teams around The Nielsen Company.
