Howdy!
I currently lead several projects at Microsoft, designing virtual communication and multimodal knowledge sharing products. I also run nowhere interesting, an independent design studio and creative lab.
I’m focused on novel interactions that focus on connection: how we can bring people closer to each other, and to the things they care about.
