Resume in short-form
I consult for Google Arts & Culture, and sometimes take on other part-time projects. Since my Ph.D. in Linguistics at Stanford, I spent about 18 years as a user interface designer and manager and researcher of online communities. I published in that area, including two books; and I worked as a corporate designer and manager of UX designers and researchers for 20 years at companies you've probably heard of, like TiVo, Adobe, and Autodesk. I've been consulting for about 15 years now, broken up by 3 years teaching data visualization as a Knight Fellow at University of Miami and teaching introductory data science and analytics at a business school in Lyon, France.
