about
My name is Brook Ellingwood
I'm a manager, strategist, media solutions architect, and occasional writer. I like to be where society, technology, business, and creativity all intersect. That's where I solve real-world problems.
I'm all about media
Media communications has fascinated me as long as I can remember. Human history is a cycle of media revolutions that have shaped the way we think, act, and live. We are our media.
I've been an online writer and producer for Disney/Starwave. I've designed data schemas for text mining. I rebuilt REI.com, architecting a publishing model to retrofit on an existing software model. I've managed teams and have led effective training and staff development. As a contractor and consultant I've worked with leading interactive agencies, including ZAAZ and POP.
As a professional working towards a Master of Communication in Digital Media degree from University of Washington, I'm focusing on emerging media practices, from crowdsourcing to social networks.
I'm helping define Media Space, a new center that will break down the barrier between traditional academic centers and the public, opening up a conversation in which we debate, discover, learn, and collaboratively build new models, measures, and monetization strategies for the evolving concept of media.
What can I do for you?
I've had success in social media, ecommerce, and content. I'm skilled in Web standards, usability, accessibility, user experience, and content development. I get this stuff on many levels.
I welcome opportunities to connect with you for business, education, or just to talk about pretty much anything.
