My first book, Effective Prototyping with Excel: A practical handbook for developers and designers (Interactive Technologies)
My day job entails developing information for bleeding-edge search products from IBM Information Management. In addition to my work as an information developer and information architect at IBM Silicon Valley Lab, I facilitate collaboration between such organizations as the Society for Technical Communication (STC), ACM SIGCHI, BayDUX, and other related organizations.
I have been Vice President for Finance of ACM SIGCHI since 2006. I was a leader in the Silicon Valley chapter of STC from 2000 to 2005, and have contributed to STC at the society level: I was recognized with the STC President's Award in 2004. And I've been webmaster for CHI and DUX conference websites.
My interests include user experience design and information architecture as informed by the art and science of technical communication.
