And those coaching skills are exceptional; she regularly receives outstanding marks from workshop attendees and seminar listeners. Christine’s practical approach to design and research is refreshing, and she also uses tons of case studies to illustrate various techniq

Some of those examples come from her impressive client list, which includes companies like Cisco WebEx, Carbonite, the Neat Company, and GlaxoSmithKline, among many others.

Christine was most recently the Senior Director of User Experience at Acquia, where she was responsible for driving the company’s UX research and design processes. She also was the Director of User Experience for Carbonite and taught Human Factors at the Tufts University Gordon Institute for Engineering Management.
