About me

I work to understand, share and improve the experiences students, faculty and staff have with the library's digital products and services. I lead human centered design activities with multiple project teams and I co-chair the Library's Digital Accessibility Team to continually improve the value and accessibility of library interfaces, services, resources and expertise.

I have a Masters of Science Degree in Information and Library Science and a Masters of Fine Arts Degree in Sculpture and New Media. 

Please email me if you have questions about digital accessibility, user experience, usability research, information architecture or service design.
