brief biography

The primary arena of my teaching and research is Human-Computer Interaction Design (HCI/d), by which I mean the now established confluence of HCI and design. Prior to this point in my career, (i) I have designed and managed the interactivity, algorithmic specification, and construction of production software in industry as a director level executive, as a principal, and as a consultant, (ii) I have designed and managed the interactivity, algorithmic specification, and construction of learning software and learning authorware at a major “Artificial Intelligence” lab, (iii) I have taught design, especially the design of systems which integrate software, at a professionally-oriented design school, and (iv) I have spent a great deal of my private life pursuing my interests in music and photography at a level no less passionate than any professional. My career is unified by the common theme of design — that is, a passion for being designerly, for understanding the role of design in the world, as a creative endeavor as well as a pervasive social construct with potential for sometimes well-advised, sometimes ill-advised, always well-intended, and oftentimes unanticipated effects on the collective human condition.
