I have been a User Experience Specialist for the last 12 years in Boston, London and Amsterdam. I am part business entrepreneur, part artist, and part "techie" - a rich combination with the ability to tackle a great number of issues. I started out as a software engineer in 1991 working for IBM & Lotus and quickly followed a career path towards business ownership, leadership, and ultimately merged it all with my creative side.
By 1997, my intense interest in design and usability and all things beautiful brought me into the world of Experience Design. Since then, as a tech savvy, business-oriented, creative thinker, I have designed, directed, and delivered intuitive, innovative and award-winning experiences for global brands including KLM/Air France, Postbank (ING Bank), Thomas Cook, AT&T, HBO, Reuters, Argos (UK), Albert Heijn (Ahold), Wageningen Universiteit (Netherlands), de Bijenkorf (Netherlands), Vodafone (UK), and more.
As a User Experience Lead and Director, I have managed multi-discipline teams & provided leadership in creative direction, interaction design, usability, design, content architecture, and more at companies like TechTarget, Reed Elsevier, and WebCT.
My work and passion for travel has taken me to Europe and India regularly, journeys that have profoundly enriched and broadened my perspective on design and usability.
I hold a B.S. in Computer Science and English Literature from Union College.
