1. My experience spans communications, tech research, web design, marketing,
multimedia production, ethnography, and mobile UX. I hold degrees in
Anthropology (BA, Smith College) and Comparative Media Studies (MS, MIT).
I love to understand how people experience technology – how they harness it
for personal expression, activism, or productivity – and how that experience can
translate into better design.

To me, “users” do not represent a
theoretical, homogenous audience.
Users are human beings living in a global
economy at a particular cultural moment.
In all my jobs, I’ve sought to understand
and improve people’s experience. I
entered the workforce during the dot-com
boom and have straddled tech and media
ever since. I love documenting stories and
deconstructing behaviors to figure out
how digital services and platforms can be
more effective for actual human beings.
For many years, I’ve used video as a
tool in this process, design and writing
as another. These days I am designing
web and mobile prototypes (sometimes
through code), running usability tests
and guerrilla research, and turning those
insights into meaningful digital products.

AAGO: for media capture & narrative storytelling
AGENCY WORK: Second screen & retail experiences
RENKU: Collaborative poetry game for creative writers

ROLE: Supervised 6 students from concept through prototype development (under PM).
Led and documented features development and weekly usability testing sessions with 5 community groups
of target users. Created a concept video for conferences, including Sesame Workshop.
PROCESS: Participatory design methodology & iterative UI
and backend development.
Interns ran a contextual inquiry of target users. Team met weekly for
9 months, refining feature sets progressively. All development was
informed by user testing (lab and field).
Wireframes for web portal
5. Initial prototype
OUTCOME: High-fidelity prototype used in demo sessions. Major brands interested.
Deliverables: final report on design process; software development documentation; wireframes for related
web interface. Project required further bug-fixing for commercial release; code remains in an open repository
to be used by other developers.

6. PROCESS: Market and consumer research, persona development, feature prioritization,
wireframe design.
For the TV client, I looked at market research to understand trends in second screen experiences, and
developed a service blueprint based on a user journey for the target audience. For the retail client, I led
guerrilla research using surveys and brief interviews (17 respondents at two locations) to learn more about
consumer attitudes regarding mobile use in-store, and conducted market research to forecast trends in
mobile retail experiences.
ROLE: UX strategy, research, design.
Conceptualized a responsive companion experience for a cable TV show,
and conceived roadmap improvements for a Top 50 mobile retailer, focusing
on in-store features. I also helped lead an internal rebranding project.

7. OUTCOME: Decks for clients (co-wrote & edited), including
documentation, research & wireframes.
For the TV client: Service blueprint, wireframes and process flows for
tablet experience. For the retail client: Customer journey and wireframes.
Recommendations for feature prioritization and wireframes showcasing
new MVPs for iPhone. For internal rebranding project: I wrote all the
website content, taught myself Bootstrap, then worked with another
person to design the site infrastructure using HTML/CSS/JS.

UI mockups for online prototype (me)
Final UI screens (designer)
PROCESS: Project conceived with
a developer during a coffee break
at a tech workshop. I planned
functionality & designed UI, he
gave feedback.
Timeframe was 4 months. Designer made
the final screens under the guidance of
the developer and me.
ROLE: Concept, research,
usability testing, UI, online
prototype.
Conducted interviews with
target demographic via snowball
sampling. Outlined features,
functions, flows. Created UI
mockups, paper prototype, online
prototype. Conducted all usability
testing.
9. OUTCOME: High-fidelity prototype (online only).
Developer had to finish his PhD; this otherwise-completed app has not yet been coded. Alas.

RURAL PERU: Evaluating internet entrepreneurship initiative
GERMANY: Interviewing residents in former East Berlin
SOUTHEAST ASIA: Documenting stories of displaced populations
11. peru
ROLE: Concept, fieldwork, video production, analysis.
Pitched idea to MIT Entrepreneurship Center. Completed research, field interviews, analysis, film, articles.
PROCESS: Spent a summer visiting over 40 villages.
Conducted 50+ semi-structured interviews.
In the field, I was chaperoned by project managers from Rural
Telecom and a field translator. I recruited volunteers to help with
film translations.
OUTCOME: Produced short documentary.
Published key findings.
Debuted film at a workshop at the National Association
for Media Literacy Education. Published article (MIT) and
conference paper (Int’l Journal of Technology, Knowledge &
Society) summarizing key issues. Proposed a follow-up project
with 5 pilot villages.
12. ROLE: Documentation of tsunami & conflict survivors
(Indonesia) and Burmese migrants (Thailand).
Led by my colleague. I documented her interviews.
PROCESS: Visited 6+ partner orgs. Wrote summaries of daily interviews, with photos.
Posted as summaries on our organizational blog and used in print material for fundraising.

13. germanyROLE: Planned and filmed field
interviews. Edited and coded
footage. Supervised designer
to plan UI for web portal.
Initiative for MIT Hyperstudio.
I worked with a team of five
researchers under the PM.
PROCESS: Two months
of collaborative planning.
Ten days of interviews
with 20+ people. Footage
was coded by me.
Interview data was intended
to be accessible as video clips
on a planned web interface
for a historical archive of the
neighborhood. I planned the
web UI and supervised a
designer to create assets and
interaction flows.
OUTCOME: Video interviews; concept for web UI; mixed media presentations.
The project was paused due to funding limitations after initial design specifications were completed, but I
finished short videos and promotional presentations about the project.
