Hello there! My name is Brynn!
I advocate for the user and make products easier to use. I do heuristic evaluations & design critiques, and user research at all stages of product development. I'm an instigator. I enjoy leading ideation sessions with workgroups (gamestorming, bodystorming). I'm a do-er. I make wireframes and design mockups. I hate bullshit. I'm a collaborator. I organize events in the design community (@Overlap, @OverlapSF, @SketchCamp) and I'm a member of the Awesome Foundation SF.Other juicy tidbits:
- I left my Ph.D. program in 2009. Stole away with a Master's though! (Cognitive Science, UC San Diego)
- I was a social search researcher and evangelist (3 years)
- I began my research career in neuroscience and brain imaging labs (6 years)
- I've coached, mentored, and tutored young women (6 years)
- I played lacrosse competitively (at Stanford and on the USA West team)
- I enjoy drawing comics.
