Subsequent employment has includ- ed stays at Planet Magpie, Adobe Inc., and Cadence Design Systems.

Ms. Stinchfield and her husband share their home and letterpress studio with two dogs and assorted wildlife in the Santa Cruz mountains, on the coastal ridge separating Silicon Valley from the coast.
