Ideation, Distillation, Execution

I prefer the deep end, flailing around in unfamiliar data and eventually surfacing with new ideas to MAKE and test.

Ideation

My creations start with sketching, sketching, sketching...

Storyboards

And eventually a story unfolds

Wireframing

And then actual screens and interactions need to be distilled

Wireframes

Sometimes they're simple, sometimes complex

User Research

We validate our creations by understanding our users' motivations, sometimes it requires inventiveness...

GoPro for Ethnography

I designed a GoPro mount for us to wear during our field sessions. 3D printed goodness.

Findings Presentation

Distilling video and transcripts to insights takes time, but the pay-offs are great.

Pitching the Intel Tablet Wall

The final Intel Wall

Sketching and wiring a Taxi App

Executing on those sketches

Sketches for a secret Shelf

The Storyboards and final product

from excel to idea

and finally an app

did i mention i like data?

The final prototype

WebGL plus HTML layer

Prototyping In 3D

We needed to visualize data in 3D for the City of Big Data project, so I prototyped these in Cinema4D

Visualizing Tweets and the CTA

Prototyping for ContreJour

An ambitious hardware and software prototype

I wanted to build an HTML5 video game with a real-world controler, so I made a virtual thumbwrestling game.

Hulk Hands plus Arduino hardware and embedded sensors, all mapped to traditional thumb-moves

A friendly battle

OpenIdeo

OpenIdeo is a fantastic forum for designers to give back

Sketches for a couple winning concepts

Amnesty winning concept

Design House

Design House matches designers with local manufacturers that have latent production capabilities.

Laser Navigation

Hardware plus Software

Peoples Garment Company

I design and print vintage sports apparel

All I wanted was a skinny wallet

It blew up into a business

that needed a folding machine
