As a Partner and Creative Director at IDEO, Jane plays a global leadership role, evolving content and craft, human insight, and design thinking in support of client projects worldwide. She came to design from psychology and architecture with the ambition to integrate social science-based perspectives into design practice — and to foster a collaborative community of kindred spirits.

Jane is the author of Thoughtless Acts: Observations on Intuitive Design (Chronicle Books, 2005), a book of snapshots that depict the subtle and amusing ways in which people interact with the world. Jane believes that design, like life, is about seeking creative harmonies with elements of our world.
