Title
VainNotion :: A Seattle-based, creative web design firm offering custom: user interface, illustration, icon and logo design.
Description
The founder of VainNotion, inc. is as principled as a self-taught designer can be. Her winding career path is filled with bouts of intensity, reflection and reinvention. In brief, her last ten years.
After several years of print design, I moved to the realm of multimedia. Shortly thereafter, I became the Director of Design at HyperBole Studios. From 1993 to 1995, I led a small 2-D design team at the firm and helped create four groundbreaking entertainment CD-Rom titles; each pioneered interactive storytelling and the art of multiple narrative outcomes, based on user choices.
Upon departing HyperBole, I established my freelance company, VainNotion, Inc. As the pace of technology picked up, so did my commitments. My evenings were spent instructing courses at the Art Institute of Seattle, while my days were devoted to designing CD-Rom titles for clients. Subsequently, I began designing smart appliances for the Microsoft Future Home, part of its Consumer Appliance Group. Some of my most distinguished work was accomplished while interacting with this group, whose prototypes provide vision for emerging technologies, and help Microsoft identify business opportunities in the consumer market.
