I am Ellen Reitmayr, a usability consultant based in Berlin.

With a masters degree in psychology, I have a strong background in user research and usability evaluation. Through further training and working as a usability consultant in multi disciplinary teams for more than five years now, I've gained experience in user interface and interaction design.

My special interest is how to integrate usability with Open Source software development (F/OSS). The internal structures of most F/OSS projects differ strongly from commercial projects; including usability effectively is a challenge. If you want to learn more, read my Blog or see my list of Publications where I describe experiences from working in different F/OSS projects.
