Things You Should Know About
Josh JeffryesOther Than "He's a Designer"
I code HTML5 and CSS3 by hand.
I am an Adobe expert, but I don't need to be.
I really like building wireframes and workflows.
I was writing about social networks before most people knew what they were.
I made my first site in 1997. It didn't have a blink tag.
If you don't think like a lean startup, I'm not for you.

BusyEvent's Mobile Event Platform
HTML5, CSS3, Mobile, App Design
I wireframed, designed, and styled the BusyEvent Mobile Event Platform. It's HTML5 and CSS3, but will gracefully degrade all the way back to a text-only browser without losing any functionality.
You can see a demo of the mobile portion of BusyEvent's system here. You can also see an example of the Flash-based AS3 Audience Response system I designed and programmed, which works with the Mobile BusyEvent system and with handheld wireless keypads.

BusyEvent Interactive Donor Wall
Flash, ActionScript 3, UX, App Design
I wireframed, designed and programmed the Flash front end of BusyEvent's touchscreen donor wall. It uses a .NET and SQL backend. The application is completely dynamic, and can be reconfigured with different graphics, pages, and functionality by changing an XML settings file. The settings can even apply string operations to data, including adding prefixes and suffixes, merging fields, cutting out matched text, and loading images based on text data.
I won a Best in Show and a Gold TAM award for this project in 2009

BusyEvent Event Management System
Usability, UX, CSS, App Design
These are examples of the BusyEvent Event Management System. It's a complex .NET/SQL web application wireframed, workflowed, and designed by myself in conjunction with a team of programmers. It's easily stylable to match client branding, and is highly configurable to match almost any event, with full email invitation, registration, badge printing, check in, survey, lead tracking, social networking and audience response capabilities.

Illustration, Identity, Animation
I Can Draw
In addition to my skills as an interactive designer, I have some illustration talent.
This includes identity design and animation (Flash, gif, stop motion, hand drawn).
It's mostly a really useful hobby, not the focus of my career. Though that could change.

I Have a Sense of Humor
This is an Example of It
If you don't have a sense of humor, we probably won't get along, because I do.
These are a poster I made for the No!Spec campaign, an infographic for a blog article, and 3 posters from a 30 poster series for a mythical WB show about designers.
I'm one of those people that has more ideas than I can fit in a day. This is one of my outlets for them.

One More Thing... Or Several.
There's More To Me Than Will Fit In a Couple of List Items
My Blog on Design and Innovation
My Presenation, Viral Loops: Building Self-Marketing Apps
My Flickr Account, With More of My Work
I currently live in St. Louis, but that's open to negotiation.
