Breanne Kunz’s Summary

Human-centered designer. I strive to understand people and solve their problems creatively, within the confines of space, time, technology and human psychology.

I completed a masters thesis regarding R&D knowledge management and communication. I like applying user-centered design principles to organizations to improve communication between departments, capture and build on prior knowledge, and to promote creative problem-solving. I'm also interested in how design can unify a company's family of products and create competitive advantage.

Presented at Sunbelt 2006 conference, MidWIC 2006 (Midwest Women in Computing) conference, 2007 Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS), and 2007 America's Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS).
