Top SchoolMorgan Dixon is a human-centered software engineer and research scientist with a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Washington, now leading User Experience at NewDays while still contributing as a software engineer at Descript. Over 11 years she has bridged research and product, shipping frontend platforms and no-code app features at AppSheet, prototyping interaction techniques at Adobe, and building a peer-to-peer mental health service as a founder. Her work focuses on making user interfaces more flexible and extensible, with notable research on reverse-engineering UIs from pixels and creating crossing-based and dual-display interaction techniques. She combines rigorous HCI research, patent-backed R&D, and hands-on engineering to move ideas into product-ready systems. Based in Seattle, she pairs academic depth with product sensibility and a talent for turning experimental interfaces into practical developer and customer-facing features. An understated strength is her history of mentoring and teaching, from university courses to training helpers at her startup, which amplifies her impact across teams.
