Soon after starting work at Monsanto, I took over the design and development projects for the Internal Communications team's “Connection” employee portal and news website, providing the team with a great increase in speed and productivity. I quickly completed involved projects that had languished on hold for months or years. When Monsanto merged with Bayer, it soon became apparent that the Connection website would have a different set of requirements. It was to become the hub of information for the transition to Bayer. I headed a complete overhaul of the site for this transition. 

I worked with the Bayer branding team for a new look and feel for the site, which would become the official, colorful branding for the new Bayer Crop Science Division headquartered in St. Louis. We took the opportunity of this redesign to pare down the site to only the most necessary elements, and streamlined the usability based on extensive user and stakeholder feedback.
