She has published widely, beginning with her PhD work on graphical interfaces in the early 80s to her most recent work on public visualizations and behavioral change. She is one of the authors of the bestselling textbook 'Interaction Design; Beyond Human-Computer Interaction' and more recently instigated the manifesto, sponsored by Microsoft Research, 'Being Human: Human Computer Interaction in the Year 2020'.
