She's currently the creative director at NPR, where she oversees both the visual and user experience of NPR's digital platforms and content; chair and co-founder of SVA's MFA in Interaction Design program; and has written about design for publications like Eye, Fortune, and Interactions Magazine as well as her own site, Bobulate.
