About: 
Brazilian graphic and web designer living in the Washington, DC metro area since 1994. I worked almost a decade in the travel industry doing print, web, and user interface design. I have grown frustrated with strategy conflicts and miscommunication between business, IT, marketing, and design. Then, I though: -"there must be a better way of doing this!"
So, I quit my job and went back to school to rethink and strengthen my career.
Now, I am a full-time graduate student in the M.S. program in Interaction Design and Information Architecture at the University of Baltimore, MD. This Spring semester I am taking Research Methods, Information Architecture, and Sequential Visualization.
This is my first time at the IA Summit. I am one of the 6 lucky students who received a FatDUX scholarship to attend the conference.
On a personal note, I am an avid dancer, cross-culture focused, people connector, and very curious about what makes people tick. Hence my interest on user research.
I am very excited about coming to the summit. Looking forward to meeting so many amazing minds focused on enhancing the human experience.
You guys rock!

I missed the breakfast :-(
Any plans for lunch/dinner?
Girl, thanks for the map! Super useful, there's even a running path!
Massa! tem algum meeting point da galera? ou vamos todos nos esbarrar por la?
Valeu Adriana! Ja consegui hotel ;)
Vou ficar pertinho no continental, gracas ao seu super MAPA!!!! essas coisas de ultima hora sao assim, mas acabam dando certo.
Bjo espero te ver por la!

I'll do my best, but I'm not good at packing light for anything. Ever.
Thanks for the tip! I've a feeling that a 630 arrival means a 7p luggage finding, which means a 730p hotel arrival which means I'm lucky to be checked-in by 8! I'd hate to miss an opportunity to flex my geek mingle!
Thanks for the map!
Talking to myself to get "above the fold" attention: Here is a Google Map to help us all plan for this event:

Send me your Gmail if you want to collaborate.
Sure, no problem. I'd rather talk to you in person, anyway. Have a good week ;)
Oi Adriana
Gostaria de conversar com você sobre o curso de Baltimore. See you there!
Sure, why not joining them? But I think we should also have our Brazilian breakfast and speak some Portuguese.
Morro de saudade :-)
I am definitely interested, I sent you a message. I also wanted to tell you that I grew up in Baltimore :)
This looks really interesting! - M.S. Interaction Design and Information Architecture - I wonder if they have anything like that in the Bay Area.
Yes, here... I am talking to myself :-)
Yeah, the comment feature could be a little more intuitive. In fact, sending a comment to myself does not seem logic, does it?
Oh my god, I love that quote. Every time my brother and I see a fly we have to say it.
