About Brightly Colored Food

Brightly Colored Food is written by Chad Thornton. I maintain this site mostly to share my thoughts and discoveries with others who have similar interests in user experience design. Enjoy.

About Me

I’m currently an Interaction Designer at Google. Before that I spent two years in the Interaction Design program at Carnegie Mellon. I previously worked in the User Experience Group at Intuit, where I carried out user research, usability testing, and interaction design across a number of software products and websites.

I’m originally from Des Moines, Iowa. I have a B.A. in Biology from Pomona College. I’m a lapsed musician and occasional sound designer. I live in the Mission district of San Francisco and take my burritos too seriously.
