Melinda Klayman is Program Manager for Sony U(x)nited, the User Experience team for Sony and Sony Ericsson, where she combines her background in art and art history with experience in mobile computing to influence the future of consumer technology. After achieving a bit of notoriety for co-creating the online sexy role playing game, Anime Noir, Melinda's personal endeavors to combine art, science, and technology in her own work has been limited to occasionally dancing the robot. Otherwise she just offers her opinion on other people's efforts, which is why the world invented the discipline of art criticism. In her spare time, Melinda fronts the San Francisco band, Madam and the Ants.
