As a writer
This page is a collection of articles I’ve written in recent years as a way to share my ongoing thoughts about the work I’m involved with, my reactions to technology, and the some of the challenges and opportunities I see in the design community. They are a reflection of my own opinions and not intended as the views of the companies I have been associated with.
Writing doesn’t come naturally to me, but I like to think that some of these ideas have a better chance of coming to life when they are shared and perhaps discussed. You never know when they might link up with other’s ideas out there, maybe even sparking new innovation, or simply helping connect like-minded people with one another. I hope they inspires you to share your own.
