About ThoughtMap
Rebecca Siegel, founder of ThoughtMap, has been designing documentation and user interfaces since 1983.
In any project, Rebecca’s takes the role of user-advocate. Whether by designing better software user interfaces, performing usability tests, writing newsletters, developing training materials, or editing company marketing materials, her focus is always on helping users get their task done more easily.
Rebecca has worked as an independent consultant, as a member of a team of consultants, as a full-time individual contributor, and as a member of a development team. Although she is often the sole writer in her group, she has managed other writers and user interface designers (and contract graphic designers/writers).
Rebecca received her BA in English from the University of Connecticut in 1987. Her interest in human language led her to the MA program in Linguistics at the University of Pittsburgh in 1992, where she focused on discourse analysis of argument and reasoning.
