I practice human centered design and use participatory sessions to inform direction and design. This page shows a few examples of this work.
Consilience is a web application designed and developed at Harvard IQSS to facilitate statistical analysis of very large text-based datasets. I planned and led two interactive workshops with Harvard and outside researchers to learn how researchers interpret a prototype and possible applications to their work.

As part of the Tools for Teachers initiative at the Institute of Design my partner Bill Kerr and I ran participatory sessions with middle school students to learn what they valued in a tool to help them learn math.
Know Pods concept research
As part of the Tools for Teachers initiative at the Institute of Design, I designed a program and website to engage students with artifacts at the Art Institute of Chicago before and after trips to the museum.
Students tested an interactive conceptual prototype and a digital prototype during the iterative design process.
