My experiences at SI prepared me for my work with HP's Knowledge & Intranet Management team. I research, propose, design, and implement innovative IA solutions in an interdisciplinary team. A lot of what I do involves breaking down silos to create an integrated finding experience for end-users. This requires me to understand how content management, search, and user interface work, and to draw on the user-centered design fundamentals I learned at SI to support design decisions that respect the end-user. It also requires that I work well across an interdisciplinary team and communicate technical concepts clearly to a non-technical audience -- skills that are emphasized at SI. The background and methods in both the technical and non-technical aspects of managing and presenting information that I learned at SI are invaluable to me at HP.

(HP Intern 2002)

HP gave me valuable experience working independently and as a team member. I was given the responsibility and freedom to investigate and develop a new program for the team that will identify and improve various areas of the intranet. Classes like Information Architecture and Design of Complex Websites were directly applicable to much of my work. SI students will find a familiar atmosphere of innovation and hard work at HP.
