Products and Services

2002-present

User-centered and experience design

I enjoy creating products that fall under the traditional realm of product design, and others that push the limits of design, experience, and art.

I often perform strategy, service and framework development as an independent contractor and under academic collaboration. I am always looking for exciting partners.

Contact me if you would like to propose a partnership or pursue a licensing or other relationship.
