In this case, I don't think she had anything to do with the actual code writing, but suggested what would constitute a usable friendly interface.

The journal Visible Language sometimes has interesting things about
aesthetics. ^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^
There are some interesting studies of users' affective response to
interfaces:
Nasar, J.L. "Responses to different spatial configurations," Human
Factors, 1981, 23(4), 439-446.
Holynski, M. "User-adaptive computer graphics," International Journal
of Man-Machine Studies, 1988, 29, 539-548.
(discovering user preferences with respect to variables such as
business, complexity, color variety, shape variety, balance,
symmetry, etc.)
