Insightful design research frames opportunities by gathering quantitative and qualitative information from my client and their audience. Methods include fieldwork, in-situ observation, surveys, interviews, and competitor analysis. My personal library of emerging technologies and interactive prototypes keeps me in touch with the latest technology.

Understanding my client’s audience requires a curiosity driven approach based on respect, responsibility and honesty. I strive to treat participants in the research process as collaborators instead of subjects, creating a positive experience for everyone involved.

Whenever possible, I like to be involved with a project from its origins, using my experience and imagination to help set the team on a productive track. 

I enjoy working with agencies, or when circumstances require, can also assemble a team from my  professional network. I frequently research, design, and develop project-winning proposals that exceed client expectations, leaving them asking “When can we see more?”

New projects gather momentum with inspiring visions that everyone can get behind. I help identify  specific challenges, write and illustrate detailed design documents, and collaborate with teams to develop a winning strategy.

Like startups that use “lean” principles to achieve a “minimum viable product,” I employ similar cost-effective strategies to create and iterate projects using “just enough” prototyping. I can make interactive mockups for screen-based devices, design and engineer objects in 3D, prototype with electronics and develop new digital-physical interfaces.

From augmenting standardized hardware with customizable applications to innovating entirely new technologies, I can optimize the design process (and your spend) to create productized experiences that reach wider audiences while opening new markets and revenue streams.
