Chris Noessel’s Summary

I am a masters graduate from the cool but short-lived Interaction Design Institute in Ivrea, Italy. Prior to entering graduate school I had 8 years of professional new media design experience, including owning my own small company and working for marchFIRST during the .com boom in San Francisco. My other experience ranges from being an art director to a programmer to a user experience specialist, and so I understand new media business broadly. Notably, for marchFIRST I was the Director of Information Architecture for the San Francisco office, where I introduced user-centered design and developed the department and its methodology while doing work for clients like Sega, Visa, and Apple. After grad school I worked for the Strategic Prototyping team for Microsoft in Redmond, Washington for 18 months before returning to the Bay Area and joining Cooper.
