An Introduction
School of Design, Carnegie Mellon University
Spring 2007

I am fascinated by people: the way we behave, the stories we tell, the things we use, the places we encounter and the relationships that emerge with them over time—the complex that happens when all this comes together in various scales and forms; an environment, in a society, community, a shared space, an artifact. 

I believe that only through understanding the nature of human experiences, and the complexities and uniqueness of people in their contexts, can we make the greatest stride towards revealing people’s needs and inform powerful design. 

With such sensitivity as an interaction designer, I intend to envision and encourage meaningful, everyday experiences—to help us connect, express, inspire others and ourselves, to realize and achieve goals, informing and enhancing our way of living in the environment and among our communities.

At left, please view my work, an evolvoing document as I learn to communicate clearly and engage human-centered design; comments are always appreciated. Thanks for stopping by!
