Overview
Background
I am a designer / technology researcher / illustrator / (reluctant) academic / (recovering) marketer — with over a decade of experience working across emerging technologies, telecommunications, consumer goods, and design consulting sectors. I am interested in the human and social aspects of designing technology, in collaboration with users. I enjoy working on human-computer interaction projects, developing participatory design tools and methods, design fictions, and using speculative approaches in my work.
