I believe I bring a unique perspective to user research and design; to both inform and enhance the making, writing and telling of things. With a background in rigorous social research methodologies, college teaching experience, and a field research portfolio on U.S. urban education, I find myself uniquely situated at the intersection(s) of:
science;
design; and,
learning theory.
I not only create in those intersections, but also tend to think I flourish in them because of the many possibilities that come as a result of the exchange. I get a lot out of collaborating and working in teams to help clarify vision, and add value. I like to see myself as a lifelong learner and champion for the power of knowledge in all its creative forms.
