Your Notes
Edit your notesI am vibrant, vivacious, and vivid.
My Self-Summary
I spent the first half of my life on the East Coast, and the second
half of my life in the Bay Area. I'm interested in Product Design, Psychology, Art, and a bunch of other
stuff.
I love exploring new things, and am game for any hobbies I've never tried or heard of before. Within the last year or so I've dived head first into salsa dancing, improv, and biking. I'm pretty active, and like to get out a lot to do new things and meet interesting people. Sometimes I like to experiment in the kitchen, with varying results. It's more fun when there is someone to experiment with.
I like to hang out with people who I can laugh with, who are active, who know what their passions are in life and aren't afraid to pursue them. I have a lot of friends who do geeky things for a living. I'm a bit like that, too.

What I’m doing with my life
- Successfully maintaining or increasing the fun
quotient, ostensibly while also being responsible enough to do
the next item:
- Working on a PhD. My research interests include design team dynamics, the design process, Human-Centered Design research methods, and how best to communicate the results of user research to designers.
- Dancing with Salsamania's amateur performance team.
- I just joined the Berkeley Triathlon team (fall 09). I'm doing my best to placate the parts of my body that protest this decision.

I’m really good at
-Being enthusiastic about learning stuff.
-Seeing things from a different point of view than my own (it helps with human-centered design, don't ya know).
-Making things in 3D that people can then build (this is my day job)
-Having Fun
-Dancing and stuff
-Cooking yummy food (I'm still improving)

The first things people usually notice about me
Undoubtedly my figure (aka my glorious badonkadonk).
Alternately, my curly hair and sparkly blue eyes.
Personally, my confidence and sense of humor.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Movies: curled up in an intimate snuggle, or laughing with a bunch
of friends, or getting my socks rocked by some amazing imagery or
action sequence
Books: fiction, if the story is deep and the prose is kickin'; nonfiction that makes me think, helps me improve my life in tangible ways, or helps me understand how me, myself and the world work
Games: Guitar Hero/Rock Band, Rez, but mostly real life (now available in the take-home version!)
Music: to dance to, to read to, to work to, to run to, to sleep to, to f**k to, to clean to, to relate to, to chill to, to talk to
Food: I'm open to anything that tastes good and/or makes me feel great (like fruit). I've been cooking for myself a lot more lately and working on my culinary skills. Personally, I find the food tastes and feels better when I make it for myself - delicious, fresh, foody goodness.

The six things I could never do without
my friends, my family, something to learn about, my external brain
(aka "the internets"), human touch, my internal dialog
I spend a lot of time thinking about
patterns. I like
to find patterns in behavior, tasks, anything actually. It's like a
never ending puzzle and can make even the mundane
fascinating.
how to create balance and rhythm in my life while still embarking on the adventures and explorations I so enjoy.
and of course, my research.

On a typical Friday night I am
With some friends, out dancing, at home, or all three if I'm
really lucky.
Sometimes I stay in on Fridays so I can get up early and go on a nice long bike ride on Saturday morning. But, I'm just as likely to go out anyway.

You should message me if
Before we get any further in to this, I want to note that I think
first dates should be low-key, especially when arranged through a
medium where you get to go read up on and analyze the other person
before you ever get to meet them, and I don't think it's a good
idea to spend a long time bantering over email. I sweetly request
that you go read this:

Saying all that, do message me if you love your life and you'd like to share or, if you'd like to talk shop about design.
