I am an user experience designer. A user advocate. A UI designer. Or all of the above. I love getting to know users and figuring out what designs would best fit their needs.

With a B.A. in cognitive science emphasizing in computational modeling from UC Berkeley, I trekked cross-country to complete a masters in human computer interaction from Carnegie Mellon University in 2006. While at Berkeley, I worked on several projects involving location-based applications, which I continued at CMU. I then worked as the sole user experience designer at Spongecell where I conducted both user research and led the interaction design of a web-based application.

My goal is to be involved in a product that will improve the lives of millions without them ever realizing it. When not exploring my interests in voice user interfaces, ubiquitous computing and social networks, I can be found writing my autobiography (to be published), listening to the same song over and over again, or picking olives off my pizza.
