I am currently the Vice President of Search Product & Design at Yahoo! Earlier in my career, I led a team at eBay that focused on Tailored Shopping Experiences and International sites. I was the designer at Apple Computer for the Finder in Mac OS 8, OS 9, and OS X and I spent time at IBM working on database and development tools. I was the principal consultant for a number of years at MindSpan Design, an interaction design agency, where I worked on desktop, web, and mobile solutions for a variety of clients. I received my Ph.D. in Psychology (HCI emphasis) from Rice University and hold multiple patents for design work on web-based products and hardware solutions.
