Alex Benenson's Summary

Interaction/UI designer with more than 20 years experience designing for desktop, web, and consumer electronics.

These skills are built on a strong academic background (MS @ MIT Media Lab, BS cognitive science) and 10+ years of programming (everything from microcode to C++ and MFC).

I can communicate just as well with users, as I can with engineers and marketers.

Some career highlights have included:
- Bringing a common look & feel (integrated w/corporate branding) to all Intel software products
- Developing a consistent out of box experience for InFocus projectors
- Top-to-bottom interaction design for 2008 and newer InFocus projectors
