She saw a tiny, black-and-white, interactive HyperCard stack designed by The Voyager Company and immediately knew her career path. Her first job out of school was working at the Apple Multimedia Lab in SanFrancisco. She then moved on to Skywalker Ranch, working with GeorgeLucas to design educational CD-ROMs. The rest has been inter- activehistory — working with everyone from Kaleida to eBay, writing bestselling books, teaching, and speaking at conferences along the way. In 1996, she co-founded Electravision, an award-winning Web design agency in San Francisco with clients such as Twentieth Century Fox, National Geographic, Microsoft, and Mall of America.
