I am interested in reconsidering the notion of 'interface' to be an issue that relies on a bridge between the worlds of technology and design. With regard to this; I am also quite interested in the different ways in which disciplines apply the terms "technology" and "design".

Teaching at Parsons allows me the opportunity to think about these questions while developing and building the answers to them. As a professional who works in a few different disciplines within the design industry and the owner of a small business / design firm, I am also able to work with clients to achieve these goals as well.
