As a digital media researcher, lecturer and interaction designer my interests revolve around the impact new web technology has on the way people communicate, their collaboration in groups and the information they exchange. This interest manifests in a wide variety of projects that cover diverse topics such as search engines, game theory, performance spaces, folksonomies, mapping and models of online consumer trust.

I have an insatiable appetite for building things out of Lego, balsa, PHP, glue, Flash Actionscript and imagination. I love developing rich internet applications that have passionate users. The creative process and technical challenges are like puzzle pieces to me along with personas, iterative methodologies, phenomenology, analytics and real users all informing a sustainable and cumulative communication.

Please have a browse through my portfolio and contact me if you have any questions about any of the projects.
