Interaction Design / Usability Researcher
Life Technologies is a global biotechnology tools company providing systems, consumables, and services for scientific researchers.

I led the design for a custom DNA sequencing web application, a custom product configurator, in addition to improving the buying experience and addressing detractor issues.

As the UI lead on the project, I was responsible for designing a system that would allow the eBay community to share their knowledge with others in the community.

Through research, wireframes, focus groups, and user testing, the team delivered a highly scalable product that houses the hundreds of thousands of guides and product reviews contributed by the community.

Working with two other HCI masters students I developed an wearable MP3 player targeted for teenage girls that would develop an emotional tie with the user. Through contextual inquiries, focus groups and other methods, we created a device that resonated well with teenage girls. The use of a squeeze based interface and a yin-yang style synching interaction created a device that was elegant, sexy and achieved a "cool" from our finicky audience.
