I help clients realize ways that they can leverage new technologies in their business in order to best meet their goals while providing a thoughtful and engaging user experience.

dodgeball began as a master's thesis project exploring the changes in social dynamics when you can empower users to use their mobile devices for more than just point-to-point communication. We received the "perfect storm" of press in the summer of 2004, and gave ourselves six months to take the product from project to business. After developing a business plan and talking to a variety of VCs, we decided that taking the product to Google would best allow us to realize our vision for the future of dodgeball.

After having spent years designing and building for digital interfaces, I wanted to get exposure and experience with the design process for the physical objects that often house them. Working as a researcher at ecco while I was getting my master's degree at NYU afforded me the opportunity to work on the intersection of form and function and get a glimpse at a part of the design process that was, until then, foreign to me.

- Client work included new product research for Virgin, Epson and Toyota/Scion

While attending graduate school, I worked on projects for IBM and Verizon Wireless that involved frequent interaction with, and presenting to, the clients.

- Through an iterative design process and extensive user research, developed the user interface for Verizon's next generation mobile phones

Introduced Interaction Design as a formal discipline into the Gotham process, serving as a liason between Technology, Design and Business Development for clients such as AOL Time Warner, Hughes, Much Music and Deutsche Telekom.

-Led the Interaction Design for a project to build a broadband consumer portal, creating six different content channels based on varying interests

Worked first as a developer and then as an information architect developing solutions for clients including HBO, Charles Schwab, Palm, KPMG, JPMorgan and Christie's.

- Architected an application for a wireless home internet appliance, working closely with industrial designers
- Created solutions for interactive television, taking into consideration the digital and physical interfaces and their limitations
