Hello.

profileI was born and raised in sunny Southern California. I graduated from the University of California, San Diego with a BS degree in Cognitive Science (HCI). Upon graduation, I worked as a user experience designer for 2 years at an interactive agency. As a user experience designer, I defined and created interactive systems based on user research, industry best practices, and business requirements. I am currently pursuing a Master of Science in Information with a concentration in Human-Computer Interaction at the University of Michigan, School of Information and will be graduating in April 2010.

When you can pry me away from my Mac, I can be found enjoying the following:





Traveling

I enjoy exploring new cultures and people groups. I'd say that I take an ethnographic approach to living...so whether basking in the warmth of sunny Southern California...braving the harsh winters of Michigan...or even traveling to various countries around the world, I enjoy learning about the rich culture of people/places because it is a means of understanding human thought and conviction.

Photography

I love shooting portrait photography! As a user experience designer, I am always interested in human behavior and how people interact and react with their environments. I realized that the lens in which I view the world transcends into my love for photography. As an expert observer, I enjoy capturing people's expressions and their interactions with the world around them. I recently started getting serious about photography and created a blog to share my favorite shots.
