Melissa Beaver, Senior User Experience Architect

Tinkerer. Ultrarunner. Mountain Biker. Appalachia born & bred.
Most happy out exploring singletrack or playing in the dirt.

 

Melissa is our user-experience guru in the making. She’s traveled a fairly circuitous route to get here. Raised in Luray, VA, (that’s Loo-Ray for you non-locals) she went to Lynchburg College and then headed off to Bloomington, IN, for 9 years before she found us.

Along the way, she’s studied music and French and is now finishing her MS in Information, Human Computer Interaction Design.

All that time in Bloomington made Melissa nostalgic for the rolling landscape of the Shenandoah Mountains. She must be a glutton for punishment because a perfect day for her involves a run of up to 50 miles. (Not a typo.)
