Interaction Designer at Mitchell International
Greater San Diego Area
I have been working as an Interaction Designer at Mitchell International for almost a year and a half and worked at HP for about 7 months prior. I specialize in web applications, websites, thick-client software interfaces, visual design, and heuristic analysis. However, my interests are much more broad, spanning consumer products, tangible interfaces, artistic design, and sustainable design.
My background is in Cognitive Science from UCSD, and I am currently working on my M.S. in Human-Computer Interaction from Rensselaer.
My long term goals are to establish myself as a well-known and respected think tank on innovation and user experience for human-to-computer interfaces. I hope to one day write a book, and perhaps run my own business along with inspired friends, family, and prestigious industry professionals.
