Deborah G Drake

UI/UX Design & Design Director

20+ years of computer design, and 15+ years of web design experience.

I have worked on every type of presentation graphics and digital design including web and product design. What all my projects have in common is user interface/interaction design. I.e. how the user interacts with the design. It’s what I do best, and can be applied to any application.

Creativity doesn’t stop with good design. As a creative person, my ideas aren’t just about design, they are about solutions. I pride myself on finding new and better ways to improve my process and product like creating an intranet for commonly requested items and setting up an image bank where designers can share files.

The concept behind this customer portal design is to have a place where customers collaborate as well as accessing their account and product information.

This is an article I wrote for our customers. SEO is a big concern for them, and I was trying to demystify it for them.

User Conference Website
This site was done in WordPress and most of the HTML, CSS, and images (including the photographs) were done by me.

United Way Campaigne
I have worked on the annual United Way campaigns for 18 years. I am passionate about United Way and I strive to make a difference with my campaigns. This year our United Way campaign went virtual, so our costs dropped and our profits tripled!

Photography
Although photography has never been my primary focus; I do enjoy being able to take my own pictures if the job warrants it. This is one of a series of call center photos I took, the space to the left was for copy.

JCPenny Commercial
This is a commercial I created for JCPenny's sponsorship, to run after Sesame Street.

This illustration was created for a co-workers retirement party. His favorite movie was obviously Toy Story.
