As an early leader in the renewable energy space, 3TIER provided groundbreaking risk analysis to energy companies and other stakeholders building wind, solar and hydro projects. As Head of Design, I helped evolve the brand and guide product and user experience design, moving the company from a consultative to self-service model. I also worked closely with the CEO to bring to life an interface that layered wind and solar data on a Google Maps base to enable location-based product browsing. This FirstLook Web Application Interface was one of the first initiatives to use Google Maps in this way and earned the 2009 American Wind Energy Association Award for Commercial Achievement & Contribution to the Wind Industry.
