I have been working as a user experience researcher since 2004 and am a co-founder of uintent. My initial focus in UX research was on non-touch mobile phones (this was before the iPhone), and e-commerce sites afterward. In 2012 I switched to evaluating car HMIs. I have since tested more than 100 car HMIs from many different OEMs. I have tested anything from very early prototypes to production models, in a variety of contexts (real traffic, test tracks, simulator, lab), and conducted car HMI studies on three continents. I have co-developed a benchmarking system for car HMI UX performance, and am currently focused on the UX of in-car multi-screen systems.
