I'm an Associate Creative Director at frog design in Austin, TX. I'm also the Editor-in-Chief of interactions magazine, and I sit on the Board of Directors for the Interaction Design Association [IxDA]. I care about things like behavior, and design synthesis, and the management of complexity.
This site contains some of my design work, and some of my work related to design education. There are also some thoughtful papers, and some less thoughtful blurbs, of things that I'm reflecting upon or considering.
You can download my cv (64k .pdf), or you might want to go check out my book.
I have worked on a number of projects that deal with complexity in large corporations. Some of these projects are archived here.
Additionally, I have included some of my wheel thrown ceramics, exploring issues of form and aesthetics.
Design is a form of language, and I have found that there are obvious and strong connections between design ideas and written language.
Presented here are some of the written pieces I have had published, as well as some less finished thoughts on various topics.
I spent much of 2003 - 2007 teaching Industrial Design and Interaction Design. My role as an educator has helped me gain perspective on many design ideas, including the role of theory and process as informing professional design work.
Archived here are some materials from the classes I have taught and built, as well as some examples of the work from my students.
