This site is still in alpha phase, but published to show the new face. I'm actively working to iron out bugs, rewrite, pour in content (PDFs, videos, slideshows, images) and improve and polish things.

Portal Header Mockups (SP2013)

Problem

The portal needed a header that could support enterprise navigation, search, and selected-state exploration without wasting vertical space or feeling visually heavy.

What I Did

Created header mockups for desktop and iPad views, including minified behavior and menu states for key tabs such as One Macy's, News, Centers, and Search.

Impact

The mockups made header behavior easier to discuss with stakeholders by showing concrete interaction states rather than abstract descriptions alone.

Lessons

Headers are never just branding bars. They are dense control surfaces, so clarity, compression, and predictable state changes matter. This artifact explores how the portal header could become more compact, more structured, and more useful while still carrying the brand and enterprise navigation patterns users expected.
