Objective
|
To use observation of people in their everyday lives
to help build, understand, and evalute new technologies for everyday use.
|
| |
|
| Approach |
I combine interative hardware and software design with careful ethnographic
observation and theoretical understandings drawn from human-computer interaction
and science & technology studies. |

Computer Mediated Living Group. Studied the evaluation of experience-focused
HCI. Methods included field studies, interviews, diary studies,
and data visualization. Collaborated on projects including the Whereabouts
Clock, an ambient tool for increasing awareness within a family,
the Ambient Ink Display,
resulting in a study of Tablet PC use, Pottering, a study of non-task-focused
domestic experience, and the Eggsperiment,
an evaluation of the experience of haptic output. |

| Teaching |
| I teach with an emphasis on rapid prototyping, user-centered
approaches, iterative design processes, group work and reflective
design. I encourage group projects for real-world clients, who have
included local organic farmers and community outreach projects. I
care deeply about my teaching, and consistently receive high teaching
evaluations from both students and faculty. |
