Hello there,

My name is Patti Bao and I am a PhD student in the Technology & Social Behavior program at Northwestern University. I am working with Darren Gergle in the CollaboLab where my research focuses on the use of visual information as a tool for collaboration and patterns of collaboration as made salient through information visualization.

I received my undergraduate degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from UC Berkeley after studying the interactions between information technology and society, design and usability. Much of this portfolio covers projects I did for coursework, internships, research groups, and extra-curriculars as an undergraduate. As such, they focus largely on user interface or graphic design and range from usability evaluations to product concepts.

If you're not sure where to start, you can click on the random project displayed in the sidebar. Have fun!
