About
- Interaction & Sound Designer
I am a multi-faceted interaction designer for IDEO's San Francisco location. With a background in programming, sound design and art, my focus is concepting, designing and prototyping innovative products.
Since joining IDEO in 2008, I have contributed to both strategic and implementation projects across a breadth of industries, including mobile devices, home entertainment, education, financial services and the music industry. My work has ranged from helping to build new companies to reinvigorating Fortune 500 companies.
Prior to IDEO, I got my start designing woman's eyewear for Carolina Herrera, Calvin Klein and other fashion brands. From then on until IDEO, I designed and built Flash websites for music artists such as Metallica, Kid Rock and Erika Badu as well as websites for clients like Nike, Got Milk, Spike TV and Giant Bicycles.

- May 10, 11This looper app, is one of my favorite. The waveforms are gesture areas, allowing you to preform many functions efficiently. In this way, the app is much more like an instrument than an app with a few discrete buttons crowded into a small space.Get the app: http://www.itunes.com/app/EverydayLooper

In the meantime, I hope this diagram enlightens emotionally driven people to realize that discussions are hard to have when rational discourse is absent.[via Simoleon Sense]
