about

I am a human-computer interaction designer. My interest in interaction design stems from my desire to create innovative, intuitive technology that is helpful to others. I believe that the objects and contexts of design are limitless. Yet, the best design comes from a user centered approach that focuses on the process of listening. Listening is accomplished through interviews, contextual inquiries, surveys, focus groups, as well as prototype evaluation. I have developed the ability to listen as well as the ability to effectively evaluate a work of interaction design.

Sustainable design is another area of interest for me. I believe that because a designer creates a product that will potentially be used by millions of people, s/he therefore has an ethical responsibility to create a design that will allow for the sustainability of the environment.
