Objective

I intend to obtain a full-time position as an interaction designer at a technology company, consulting firm or

other organization that values creativity and a user-centered design methodology. I possess expertise and

have demonstrated proficiency in the diverse but allied domains of visual communication, software develop-

ment, user interface and user experience design, and have worked in environments ranging from pure

research to product development. This combination of experiences puts me in a unique position to innovate

while leveraging the needs of customers, constraints of engineering, and abilities of my colleagues.
