Information design is an emerging discipline that blurs the boundaries between corporate initiatives and goals, user-centered visual and user interface [UI] design, human factors [HFE], computer-human interactions [CHI], information architecture, usability, and cognitive psychology.

In my role as Principal Information Designer I work with Business Intelligence and the Executive Staff defining, designing and presenting monthly, quarterly and annual reports, for online, print and visual display. As the first person to hold this position at GoDaddy.com, my primary responsibility is the art and science of preparing information so that it can be used by human beings with the greatest understanding, efficiency and effectiveness.

The benefit of this holistic design approach comes from maintaining a consistent sense of vision and end-user requirements throughout the entire design process.
