Samantha Bailey

Samantha Bailey is a highly skilled leader with over fifteen years of experience in a variety of user-centered design environments.

I am currently seeking a new challenge! Please visit my personal website to learn more. Contact me directly for password access to case studies and examples of my work.

My experience has run the gamut from startups to fortune-500 companies and I’ve been responsible for both business development and operations. I have a solid track record leading high-performance user-experience teams and am particularly adept at fostering teams that are collaborative and adaptive, produce high quality work and have low staff turnover. While I am interested in all facets of user-experience, information architecture and usability are my passions.

Previously, I was the Director of Usability at Thomson West for the westlaw.com interface and Vice President, Information Architecture for Wachovia.com. Prior to joining Wachovia, I was Vice President of Operations at Argus Associates, a pioneering information architecture firm. My clients included AT&T, Johnson & Johnson, Procter & Gamble, Vanguard and the Weather Channel.

I hold a master’s degree in library & information science from the University of Michigan.

Specialties: Information Architecture, User Research, Usability Engineering, User Interface Design Skills: Interaction Design, Prototyping, Content Strategy & Localization, Taxonomy, Controlled Vocabulary & Thesauri Development
