Kerry Bodine is a principal analyst at Forrester Research. Her research explores how user-centered design processes, design-centric corporate cultures, and organizational structure contribute to the creation and sustainability of superior customer experiences. She also covers the interactive-design-agency industry and advises customer-experience professionals about how to get the most out of agency partnerships. Kerry was instrumental in the development of many of Forrester’s evaluation methodologies. Her earlier work included an extensive focus on wearable technologies.

Ame Elliott is a senior human factors specialist at IDEO in Palo Alto, CA, where she conducts fieldwork, designs interactions, and facilitates workshops for companies interested in innovating through user-centered design. Prior to joining IDEO, Ame was a research scientist at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) and at Ricoh Innovations. Her past projects include leisure guides for Japanese youth, services for managing chronic diseases, a device for sharing media on home A/V networks, and paper interfaces for interacting with collections of digital media. Ame has a Ph.D. in architecture from the University of California, Berkeley, and a Bachelor of Environmental Design from the University of Colorado, Boulder.

We are calling Katie, Dave, Kerry, and Ame our four “community editors,” and we are delighted to have such an intellectually strong and professionally deep group of people ensuring our continued relevance to the multiple communities for which interactions is intended.
