I’m Cora and I make stuff easier to use.
My background was originally in computer engineering, but after many years of difficult programming classes, I realized that it wasn’t quite what I was looking for. With that experience under my belt, I decided to pursue a career that involved me more with people.
I ended up finding the best of both worlds.
I graduated from the University of Michigan School of Information specializing in Human Computer Interaction. Bringing together people and technology is my challenge and my passion.
I am currently the User Experience Specialist at Quicken Loans, America’s #1 Online Lender. That means, every day, I work toward making our web sites easier for our visitors to use. Whether speaking directly with clients or tracking their usage of our sites real-time, every thing I do is aimed at making their visit enjoyable while keeping the business requirements in mind.
My User Experience skill set includes:
- Paper Prototyping
- Usability Testing
- Wireframing
- Personas
- Focus Group Facilitation
- Ethnographic Studies
If you have a site that needs to be easier to use, and would like to inquire about my services, let’s talk.
