I work within the field of user-centered innovation as both researcher, teacher, and designer, with a special interest in the intersection between information technology and liberal arts.

My research examines the relationship between different tools for user-centered innovation and the impact it can have on creative decision-making processes about new and emerging technologies. In particular, the visualization format of animation is a special interest of mine. I have developed and examined a multitude of techniques for using varying fidelities of animation and other extended sketching capacities to create shared operative images to support the sketchy and fuzzy front end of innovation projects.

Specialties: Design thinking, digital innovation, project management, sketching & prototyping, user experience design, academic ressearch, teaching and supervising.
