About
I lead the design team for Bloomberg‘s communication, collaboration, compliance, and connectivity products for financial professionals. I have also designed geographic visualizations for commodity traders at Bloomberg.
Before coming to Bloomberg I taught classes and directed the Master of Human-Computer Interaction program at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) with a focus on user research, interaction design, prototyping, software development, and usability evaluation. Before that I worked at General Dynamics Viz on the Personalized Assistant that Learns, a DARPA project to research and design artificial intelligence programming by demonstration tools for warfighters. While there I also created design patterns for mobile and distributed collaborative interfaces. User research and evaluation for these projects took me to dozens of military installations in the US and Iraq.
Prior work includes developing interfaces for cognitive tutor authoring tools at Carnegie Mellon, stage managing and lighting design for an opera in Italy, guiding Amherst College’s technology outreach programs, studying set theory in Hungary, teaching children as a nature instructor, and working as a farmhand in Sweden.
I have an MS in Human-Computer Interaction from Carnegie Mellon and a BA in Theater & Dance and Computer Science from Amherst College.
