Beautiful Rectangles

As the first User Experience Director at Rain, I was required to learn UX strategies while working on client projects. I found I was repeating certain tasks on the majority of my projects and decided to put together a library of templates in order to save time.

When I was invited to speak at Adobe MAX 2010 on User Experience workflows, I decided to generalize the templates and post them for the public on Github.
