The Challenge of Newness

I'm an Industrial Designer working at the intersection of Art, Design, Interactive Media and Technology.

Resume

My current interests are the design of new interfaces for musical expression, interactive installations, and human-object interaction.

In my work I wish to explore the meaning of objects as they relate to human experience. Though function is always considered - I would like to make things that transcend their utility. Objects that reside in the mind not only in physical space.

Asking questions as well as offering suggestions for new ways of existence.

My traditional design expertise include furniture, tabletop, packaging, and graphics.
