Dr Debbie Stone is currently a Lecturer in the Computing Department, Faculty of Mathematics and Computing, The Open University, UK.

Her PhD was completed at the Open University, and was based on empirical studies of designers performing design activities early in the interaction design life cycle. These studies were undertaken with the view to making recommendations as to how designers may be supported in their early user interface design tasks.
