Responsible for the design of mobile applications for monitoring and analyzing processes at plants using OSIsoft’s PI data historian system.

Contextual inquiries - onsite visits with plant managers in different industries (Pharmaceutical, Power Generation, Aluminum and Water treatment) to define required functionalities to address their needs.

UX/UI design - produced the wireframes, functional specifications, mockups and artwork required for the first release of the first mobile application developed by OSIsoft, PI Coresight for the iPad, launched in January 2013.

Usability studies - conducted throughout conception and development stages.

Design researcher and interaction designer for the Open Orchestra project, the musical equivalent of an aircraft simulator that gives a musician a realistic experience of playing with an orchestra. Collaborator in research projects including: the Health Services Virtual Organization (HSVO), a platform for medical simulation and training; and the in situ audio services project (ISAS), an eyes-free mobile system designed to give blind users a better sense of their surroundings.

Ethnographic studies with Symphony and Big Band orchestras to better understand how musicians interact within their peers and the conductor during a rehearsal process. This helped to define the functionalities developed for Open Orchestra. The results were summarized through a mental model of the rehearsal process. This project gained attention from the Cirque Du Soleil as a training tool for their singers and musicians.

Interaction design - produced workflows, wireframes, prototypes, scripts and screener questionnaires for the conception and testing of the HSVO project with medical students and residents. This allowed us to conduct medical training sessions across the Atlantic between Ireland and Canada.

Empathy research methods and Usability studies - conducted for the ISAS project. These studies inspired a novel method of rendering points of interest to blind people via smartphone devices.
