About Me

I’m based in Northern California and have extensive experience in touch & mobile design as well as web and software. Previously I was the Mobile Design Lead at EchoUser, and prior to that, I designed iPhone applications at Genentech.

I have a Master’s degree from the School of Information at the University of Californa, Berkeley, and an undergraduate degree in Computer Science (with a Sociology minor) from Oberlin College.

When I’m not designing, I’m knitting, hiking, sailing, playing music, reading, and baking.

What I Do

My skills cover user research & testing, interaction design & prototyping

User Research & Testing

I plan and conduct a variety of user research methods, including surveys, interviews, diary studies, contextual observation, and card sorts.

While I usually create a presentation for clients, I also design and execute many other deliverable types to optimally convey users' goals and needs. These deliverables include user profiles, experience maps, flow diagrams, and any other useful artifact.

Interaction Design

My interaction design process typically begins with many possible directions, iterations and rounds of client feedback. I start with high-concept, low-fidelity sketches and move on to high-fidelity wireframes.

I create simple prototypes with hotspots or more complex prototypes in HTML/CSS/jQuery depending on my clients' time and budget
