My name is Therese Nielsen, and I have a passion for usability and user-centered design. Over the past eight years, I've worked professionally as an e-Learning developer, freelance web designer, web design instructor, and senior web designer. I also have a strong academic background that combines Anthropology, Interactive Multimedia, and HCI. Recently I completed a series of academic projects at the School of Information that gave me hands-on experience with usability methods. I'm now finished with HCI coursework, but continue to find inspiration through many usability-oriented books and podcasts.
I'll be moving to Chicago in August of 2008, and am actively seeking career opportunities in the field of user experience design.
The 36th Annual PowWow website was recently selected as a "featured site" on the U of M gateway.

From Mick McQuaid:
"Therese was an exemplary student in an evolving, loosely-defined design class: her class mates clearly valued the advanced sketching and Flash skills she added to the mix..."
I've been trained in a variety of usability methods at University of Michigan's School of Information.
