eBay Reviews & Guides
As the UI lead on the project, I was responsible for designing a system that would allow the eBay community to share their knowledge with others in the community. Through research, wireframes, focus groups, and user testing, the team delivered a highly scalable product that houses the thousands of guides and product reviews contributed by the community.

Sun Microsystems Team Mail
With a five person team of HCI masters students, we set out to explore the realm of collaborative email. Through the use of contextual inquiries, diary studies, focus groups, personas, usability testing, and other techniques, we developed a functional product that allowed knowledge workers to more efficiently work together.

Squeeze Drop MP3 Player
Working with two other HCI masters students I developed an wearable MP3 player targeted for teenage girls that would develop an emotional tie with the user. Through contextual inquiries, focus groups and other methods, we created a device that resonated well with the teens. The use of a squeeze based interface and a yin-yang style synching interaction created a device that was elegant, sexy and achieved a "cool" from our finicky audience.
