Wendy March holds a MS in Information Systems from Brighton University, UK, and a MA in Computer Related Design from the Royal College of Art in London. Wendy's previous research at Intel has focused on "smart streets," the use of technology by teenage girls, the needs of mobile workers and communities. Wendy has explored a range of research methodologies including "technology probes" for long-term installation in a local café. She has built a foam core "living room" to investigate ideas for digital media and entertainment. As an interaction designer Wendy uses research as a basis for new concepts and future scenarios. Before joining Intel, Wendy was with IDEO Product Development, where she worked on a broad range of design projects for clients including 3COM, Pepsi, Steelcase and Xerox. Wendy's current research looks at how the design of money can reflect social values such as sustainability.
