Design Overview

There is much work to be done. The world can be a chaotic place. Technology has the potential to enrich and enhance our lives, or to frustrate and alienate.

Interaction Design focuses on the human experience of interacting with products, information, and each other. The goal is to find a common language,open up avenues of communication. In order to provide answers, we must first understand the questions.

After graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design I began experimenting with music and sound, always searching for a way to combine these experiences with my visual work. Digital media provided one possible solution, and I had found myself in San Francisco just as a revolution was starting.

I found my way into the multimedia industry , first by creating soundtracks for CD-ROM presentations, and eventually creating engaging user experiences over the Internet for clients such as Virgin Records, Discovery Channel Online, and Levi Strauss & Co.

Through the years, I have worked with some of the most innovative and creative design companies in the industry. I was instilled with a sense of exploration, which I use today as we continue to define how we use and interact with constantly evolving technology.
