Interactive Futures (IF) is a simulation company housed at Rider University and in operation every spring semester. In 2001, I was hired as the Lead Tester of Interactive Futures and promptly promoted to Technical Specialist.

My duties included using WebStar's server application to set up server accounts and logins for the 18 employees, setting FTP preferences, and organizing the server directories and allowances. Then I was given the task of creating the Web site for this Web Design company.

Besides designing IF's Web site, I oversaw the technical details of the creation of the site for IF's client, the Center for Innovative Instruction (CII). At IF, we learned a lot about what to do — and what NOT to do — as a Multimedia and Web Design company.
