Melissa Quintanilha, Ohio State Design alum, MFA 2008, is currently a member of the Microsoft Windows Embedded Automotive team that is envisioning the future of technology use in the intelligent car.

She has worked as a User Experience Designer at Microsoft since her graduation from the Department of Design's interdisciplinary graduate program.

Melissa was recently featured in a Microsoft-produced video published on YouTube (also found below), titled "Designing the Future of the Intelligent Car: The Global Influence."

The video describes the team's research with users across the globe, which is being used to inform the eventual design of a car that doesn't just drive, but learns who you are and anticipates your needs.
