With over 20 years of web development experience and a strong background in information science, I offer a unique combination of skills to help you thrive in the digital landscape. I specialize in quickly analyzing users' and clients' needs and translating them into actionable deliverables that drive tangible results for your business.
My passion lies in working with nonprofits, NGOs, and start-ups, although I am equally comfortable collaborating with large-scale, international retail, health, and technology organizations. I take pride in delivering tailored solutions that meet the diverse requirements of my clients, regardless of their size or industry.
Beyond consulting, I enjoy sharing my knowledge through training sessions and engaging talks. Whether you're seeking a high-level introduction to taxonomy or a detailed workshop on improving your organization's information architecture, I can provide the expertise you need. My facilitation experience includes focus groups, strategy roadmapping workshops, and usability studies with clickable wireframes.
While my primary focus is on information architecture, taxonomy, and content strategy, I am also adept at handling content migration, taxonomy integration, and custom coding projects. I bring my programming skills to the table, enabling efficient data wrangling and analysis that supports the success of your initiatives.
I maintain a technology-agnostic approach, allowing me to provide unbiased recommendations tailored to your specific requirements. Throughout my career, I have worked extensively with Open Source CMSs, including Drupal, Joomla, Bricolage, Mediawiki, and ezPublish. While I appreciate the strengths of various platforms, I must admit that Drupal stands out as the best in my opinion. Additionally, I possess proficiency in SharePoint administration and familiarity with WordPress, ensuring that I can adapt to different environments as needed.
My mission is to apply the best practices of information architecture in creative ways that deliver value and drive your business forward. I strive to build frameworks that are not only useful and solid but also visually captivating, leaving a lasting impression on your audience.
I am available to work as an individual consultant or through one of my partner corporations, Le Groupe Rutagi and Dovecot Studio.
