media type="custom" key="8300698" What's your name? And what do you do? Ah, the universal language of introductions.

My name is not any of the following: Tabatha. Deborah. Pamela. Angela. I've heard all these names said back to me after introducing myself. Most egregious of all is Ta//ban//itha (Tuh-BAN-i-thuh), pronounced with the emphasis on the second syllable, which sounds absolutely awful. Ta//ban//itha takes 2nd place in the 'read my name aloud contest', coming in a distant second to Tabatha. Yup, most people see my written name and completely ignore the extra letters.

My name is Taba//ni//tha (say Tab-uh-NEE-thuh), pronounced with the emphasis on the third syllable. My name is long & convoluted yes, but pleasing to the ear when pronounced correctly.

And what do I do? As goes my name, so goes my career path: full of mistakes and missteps; some of them very nice but still not quite right. I have been a Photographer. Receptionist. Web Designer. Courier. Desktop Publisher. Waitress. Aesthetician. Executive Assistant. Writer. My work history has been long and convoluted yes, but with the Academy's help I hope to finally craft a satisfying answer to the question of "what do you do?"

The **Freelancer’s All-in-One Mobile App** is an experimental application: a tablet-based productivity app geared primarily to freelance workers. Secondary users might be project managers, chief financial officers, accountants, or anyone interested in enhancing productivity with a single tool. The app will encompass everything an independent contractor might need: a calendar, an address book, a document reader, a basic word processor, full-featured email, an image browser, a basic note-taking tool, a built-in telephone, a tasks lists, a web browser, a project organizer, invoicing tools with payment integration, video/chat functionality, and a job board. The key user benefit is the all-in-one nature of the app; instead of using multiple tools that might or might not sync with each other, the user has everything s/he needs within one interface. The **Freelancer’s All-in-One** will also save the user time; the less time spent clicking into and out of myriad applications and dealing with load times, the more time the user will have available for actual work.

The target user is a professional freelancer who wants to easily manage their time, their work schedule, their clients and their finances. The target user is a reasonably tech-savvy individual with an iPad or other tablet device; their office is wherever they might be: the local coffee shop, library, client meeting, or their own couch. The user likely already uses a competitor app like Evernote or FreshBooks, but would appreciate more functionality.
