Urban Faubion Senior UI Developer
Welcome to my portfolio. My experience includes web application and site development as well as interactive and print design.
Featured Project
The FleeQ Publishers Workbench is an Adobe Flex web application using the Cairngorm (Flex framework) and BlazeDS to communicate with a Java and MySQL server side components. Advertisement publishers use the web application to upload text, image and video advertisements to be used on the network. Site owners who want to profit from advertising on their site use the application to to manage their different domains and get the necessary embed code.
Selected Projects
Showcased below are a few projects that I've worked on in the past.
We're A Lot Like You
The PEMCO - "We're A Lot Like You" project was a web site built to accompany the TV, radio and billboard advertisement campaigns featuring different Northwest stereotypes. As a member of the project team I provided design direction on layout and interaction in addition to developing the site.
Concur Website Redesign
Concur provides on-demand employee spend management services through their products to both large and small businesses. In this major re-branding effort we were able to integrated Flash, (X)HTML, CSS, JavaScript and a custom Flash video player to create a site that was nominated for the 2008 Webby in the service category.
Interactive Annual Report
The Expeditors - Interactive Annual Report was built back in 2003 but it's still great example when compared to what people are building today. The objective was to take the printed annual report and represent it on the web in an engaging way without changing the look and feel. In the end, I create one of the first reusable, XML-driven page-flipping websites built in Flash.
