# GoAbroad.com

Directories of study, volunteer, internship, and teaching programs abroad. Design of the dashboard and of the internal tools the sales and finance teams used.

Plate VII. *Field*.

- **Years**: 2008–2010
- **Role**: Product designer
- **Setup**: Colorado company; I worked in its Philippines office
- **Scope**: Client dashboard, internal sales and finance tools, co-branded marketing sites, UX practice
- **Platform**: Web

## The company

GoAbroad.com is a Colorado company that runs directories of programs abroad: study, volunteering, internships, teaching, and more.

## The work

I worked in GoAbroad’s Philippines office from March 2008 to July 2010. I led design of the client dashboard and of the internal tools the sales and finance teams used. I was one of the team that designed co-branded client marketing sites and collateral.

I also pushed for practices the team had not used much before: usability testing, task analysis, user-flow documentation, and proofing visual design against the build.

## What carried over

Internal tools get no launch announcement. Either the sales and finance teams can do their jobs with them or they cannot. I still trust that test most. Does the work hold up for the person who uses it every day?

## Tell me what you’re building.

Write early, while the names and screens can still change. A few lines are enough: what it does, who it’s for, how far along you are. I reply within two working days, Manila time.
