Clare Hooper is a postdoctoral fellow at the Eindhoven University of Technology. She completed her EngD with the School of Electronics and Computer Science at the University of Southampton, supervised by David Millard. Her thesis, entitled Towards Designing More Effective Systems by Understanding User Experiences, was motivated by a desire to build better social technologies based on a sound understanding of user experiences in physical and digital contexts. To this end, Clare developed Teasing Apart, Piecing Together (TAPT), a Software Engineering design process for understanding user experiences and redesigning them for new contexts. TAPT underwent a three-phase mixed methods evaluation, which demonstrated that the method provides a strong analytical framework for understanding experiences and that it supports experience redesign.

Abstract

Clare Hooper is a postdoctoral fellow at the Eindhoven University of Technology. She completed her EngD with the School of Electronics and Computer Science at the University of Southampton, supervised by David Millard. Her thesis, entitled Towards Designing More Effective Systems by Understanding User Experiences, was motivated by a desire to build better social technologies based on a sound understanding of user experiences in physical and digital contexts. To this end, Clare developed Teasing Apart, Piecing Together (TAPT), a Software Engineering design process for understanding user experiences and redesigning them for new contexts. TAPT underwent a three-phase mixed methods evaluation, which demonstrated that the method provides a strong analytical framework for understanding experiences and that it supports experience redesign.
