Bio:
SIGGRAPH 2022
Maureen Stone is most recently the Director of Research at Tableau Software, and has a long career of contributions in both theoretical and applied contexts. She is perhaps best known for her expertise in digital color and its applications, but has broad experience in digital design, interactive graphics and user interface design. She began her career working on projects related to the then new fields of desktop publishing, digital document design and digital printing, pivoting to the exploding domain of data visualization and the design of techniques, tools and representations focused on the interaction between human cognition and visual design. She is the author of the seminal book A Field Guide to Digital Colour and of numerous papers addressing how humans process and interact with visual representations from both theoretical and applied perspectives.
SIGGRAPH 1999
Maureen Stone is an independent consultant working in the areas of digital color, web graphics, interaction and design.
