Boon Sheridan
I'm a user experience designer, researcher, writer, and distiller-in-training. I help teams identify people's problems and create products and services that benefit them. I'm a big fan of old records and new cocktail recipes.
I've spent the last four years at 18F, a dedicated team of federal government technologists. Among other things, I helped design and launch get.gov, the American Climate Corps, researched AI, helped write reports on permitting technology to Congress, and taught classes on research techniques.Things I love to do:
- Work with cross-functional teams and help grow skills across teams and organizations
- Listen to people tell their stories and better understand their goals
- Use narrative-building skills to bring data to life
- Synthesize insights into designs, prototypes, and recommendations for teams across an organization
- Speak in front of rooms, cameras, and audiences as a presenter, emcee, and workshop facilitator
- Spend my off-hours digging in the $1 record bins
- Learn a new cocktail technique or recipeFun fact:
My house, a church built in the late 1800s, became famous when Niantic made it a Pokémon Go gym. I got to talk to people worldwide and took a crash course in augmented reality.Case studies, references, and recipes gladly provided on request.
