Samples from my Usability Leadership class’s user testing project for Thumbplay, a streaming audio app.  The user test questions my team generated were targeted relative to tenets of efficient gestural interface design, and accounted for facets such as ease of manipulation, intuitiveness, responsiveness, and its overall design related to the human body.

For this project, my team used Silverback user testing software, which records sessions using a computer’s built-in camera.  As well, the program tracks testers’ clicks and browsing movements. 

After completing user testing sessions, we presented our findings to the client along with recommended fixes.

Highlights from my Information Architecture graduate class’s site redesign project for BK Farmyards, which included paper prototyping, card sorting, site mapping, competitive auditing, persona/scenario creations, and both low- and high-fidelity wireframing.  We used Omnigraffle to design the wireframes and principles of affective user experience design to guide our approach to the project.
