Disciplines

I’m out here looking for interesting design problems to tackle.

Experience Design

Active perception and interactions manifest our experiences in space and time.

Architecture, music, film, games, UI; the common denominator is always the human.

Storytelling

Engaging and emotional communication happens through stories.

We relate, understand, and participate across the ether through our shared media.

Design Thinking

I proudly stand on the shoulders of the ones before me.

Through collaborative iteration and experimentation do our ideas evolve.

Critical Design

For we so easily fall into our algebraic habits that we miss the woods for the trees.

Design fiction, “slow” tech and art help us reconnect and reflect.

My communication style is accessible and adaptable, inviting cooperation and the exchanging of ideas.
Curiosity

I enjoy the strange and unfamiliar; exploring creativity, ideation and prototyping.
