Prior to this, she was Head of Research for the London studio of design consultancy Fjord, where she led Fjord's involvement in the Smarcos EU consortium researching the interusability of interconnected embedded devices and services. She has worked in UX design and research for mobile, multiplatform and web services since 1997. Elizabeth Goodman investigates the possibilities and perils of emerging technologies in her design, research, and writing. Her 2014 PhD from UC Berkeley's School of Information focused on human-computer interaction and design practice for novel technologies, and was supported by National Science Foundation and Intel fellowships. In 2013 she authored the second edition of Observing the User Experience, a widely-used handbook of design research methods. Her work has taken her from exploratory research and design teams at Intel, Yahoo!, and Fuji-Xerox to her current position with 18F, a service and product design group within the US government aimed at making federal agencies more efficient, more transparent, more accessible, and more accountable to the people they serve. Elizabeth speaks widely on the design of mobile and pervasive computing systems at conferences, schools, and businesses. She lives in San Francisco with her husband and two children. She tweets as @egoodman. German-born Martin Charlier is an independent design consultant based in London.
