In September 2006 I started working in Paris as a senior designer for BNP Paribas' Internal Communications branch, on site at the company's office in the Opera district (the geographical and financial center of Paris). Initially hired to design Rich Internet Applications (in then nascent Flex technologies) interaction experience and UI in the context of tailor made applications developed for the bank's employees, my work and contribution met such acclaim that within a year I was chosen to lead the front end design of the banking group's new company intranet as art and creative director, a project in which I was involved from the beginning of conception in October 2007 to the intranet's on-schedule and unanimously praised international launch in September 2008. My singular experience in designing not only internet websites but also light web and desktop applications proved invaluable in addressing the forementioned issues of the intranet's previous incarnation while also leading me to take on the role of advisor and director in the implementation of new features, amongst which direct manipulation utilizing AJAX. Since the installment of the previous intranet, new working habits, standards and expectations had formed with the progress of online applications thanks to the advent of Flash, AJAX and Flex, on websites which employees were using at home for personal use on a daily basis. My expertise helped temper excessive eagerness on the part of the client, borne out of the frustration which both web masters and end users had previously expressed and endured. The combination of this increase in expectations and long held frustration gave birth to unreasonable design requests from the client, entailing the risk of increasing the complexity of an unusually multi-purposed application. Other notable challenges and accomplishments include: identification of end user tasks, direct and indirect client needs design of a modular interface and user experience satisfying an exceptional number of needs (at times reconciling seemingly contradictory demands from separate sources) while preserving application simplicity building an interactive prototype to demonstrate the added value and benefits of the new intranet, in hopes of convincing former defectors to return creation of a branding and visual reference guide ("Graphic bible") and design documentation for site maintenance and extension delivery of original graphics for intranet use serving as an intermediary in french, english and spanish language between clients (HR, Internal Communications, Retail Banking) and BNP Paribas's IT department, a role akin to Client/Service Manager Despite the extraordinary number of problematiques, both direct and indirect clients as well as technical hurdles, the new BNP Paribas company intranet was launched on schedule in September 2008, to the great satisfaction of both managers and end users. Its appealing visual design and efficient user experience sparked the return of whole national branches, teams and subsidiaries which had previously defected the company's intranet, its most significant contribution possibly being the unification of a previously fragmentary intranet landscape. Today, 201,700 employees in 84 countries work together, better, daily on the BNP Paribas company intranet.
