Biography

Theresa Neil has been designing user interfaces since 2001 when she coded her first seat map for an airline kiosk. She loved the direct interaction of tapping a seat to change rows, and updating the colors to show the seat was assigned. She wanted to make more products like this, intuitive, direct, and timely. In the past 8 years, she has led the design for more than 40 web, desktop, and mobile applications, working first as the Usability Lead at Sabre Airlines Solutions, then on her own as a User Experience consultant. Recent clients include a diverse mix of Fortune 500 companies, non-profit organizations, and local Austin start-ups. Her experiences as a UX designer are chronicled at theresaneil.wordpress.com and her work can be seen at www.designgenie.org.
