Jennifer Barton’s Summary

(formerly Jennifer Dubernas)

Currently I'm working at Huge Inc. in Brooklyn as a Senior Interaction Designer. I have over 12 years of industry experience in Design, Marketing and IT Development. I graduated on June 12, 2005 From DePaul Univeristy in Chicago with a Master's of Computer Science in Human Computer Interaction (HCI), specializing in Usability.

I have a wide range of skill sets and have been asked to hold titles such as: Interaction Designer, Information Architect, Visual Designer, User Researcher, and Interactive/Web Designer. I've had the fortunate opportunity to work as each one of those titles, which has given me insight on my strengths and weaknesses and allowed me to gain expertise. I still want to create and work hands on developing the best user experience, for an interface. In a few years I might and move into management and/or pass on my knowledge to others by teaching. Until then, I want to design with rockstar caliber.

I have always worked while going to school because I love the combination of theory and applying them to real-world situations. I've had the opportunity in the past to work with amazing mentors as well as colleagues that have inspired me, as well as a chance to work in different environments. From all of those experiences I am able to solve problems quickly and efficiently. I'm super passionate and enthusiastic about what I do. I continue my studies in user experience design by reading, attending conferences, and having great conversations with people in the community.

I'm always open to new opportunities that will challenge and utilize my skill sets - ideally a side adventure working with mad scientists. I've been spending my free time collaborating with artists and discovering Brooklyn.
