ADME AI INC.

The adme ai application was imagined, developed & presented in 48 hours by 7 Wonder Women Coders for AT&T Shape Hackathon 2019. Our entry won a Top 10 prize in the hackathon and we were awarded $5K. My part was to create all the logos, the website's color palette and UI, as well as product videos to accept and to reject.

We have since incorporated, turning this patent-pending discovery into a company.

YouTube vloggers use MagicLinks to create click revenue. The links are evergreen and follow the product, not the merchant. I designed the mobile and desktop product user interface and reports as one of the core startup members. This is the brainchild of the fabulous team that developed Chippmunk.

About

This portfolio is the work of Anna Donlin who is best described as a technically skilled art director. Anna knows how to build what she designs—this sets her apart from most art directors. She is a designer with the pragmatism of a developer. Anna knows what knobs to turn to tweek technology into captivating designs.

Anna is a student of creativity and how insights reveals themselves. In this pursuit she has learned that travel is a huge influencer of creative insight. Be it across town or overseas, getting oneself in a new environment aids the mind to make new connections. Discovering this helped explain how living overseas in Amsterdam, Cracow, Berlin, and Rio, and adapting to these foreign cultures and languages developed Anna's own creativity.

Previous jobs at Yahoo! Search Marketing, TripAdvisor, Virtual Tourist, Internet Brands, Archimation, and The Berliner Morgenpost also influenced Anna's design aesthetic. And as the Chair Surfrider South Bay and and Excutive Committee member of Surfrider West LA / Malibu Anna gained powerful experience managing and organizing amazing volunteers and events.

Currently Anna is collaborating with Westside Websites—building things in ASP.NET Core MVC using Visual Studio Community, and tracking the process with GitHub. She has also bought and renovated properties she now long-term and vacation rents. This entrepreneurial experience has had a lasting influence on Anna's design aesthetic and work ethic.
