Life After Graduation
Three weeks have gone by quickly and already so much as happened. Even more exciting are the things that will be coming up. More to come on that later.
Since graduting from the wonderful University of Washington, everything seemed to just cruise along. I’ve moved back home over on the east side and it [...]
A Little Portfolio Demonstration
Created with Paul’s flickrSLiDR.
A lot of people don’t know exactly what I do. What is Informatics? What is Interaction Design? You’re artsy fartsy (wrong, but I do love art, and especially great design). So on and so forth. Well it occurred to me that while I have spent my long summer hours [...]
Health and Wellness: Sketches and Mock Ups
So our group decided to go with the shopping idea. Instead of having the user tote a list around, the list would be generated and remembered through a USB keychain. This keychain would be able to store, transact and record information the person’s consumption and purchasing habits. As a result, we can solicit [...]
Dialog: Games + Information Visualization
I promise to update on my group’s progress. We are getting somewhere and it’s exciting! Lots of data visualizations and interesting spatial/temporal interactions. Our advisor thinks we are heading in a good direction and we also received good feedback from our Microsoft advisor as well. I’ll just mention that we are now working on [...]
Health and Wellness: Concepts and Designs
Before I go any further, I’d like to point out that our initial website is up: Pebble In A Pond
wtf does that mean?!
Simply, it is a metaphor of our purpose. A single pebble dropped into a calm pond, causes ripples to spread further and wider. There is a dualistic relationship here: One is that [...]
Health and Wellness: Research and Analysis
Time for an update right? It’s been a week and by the way I’m naming these titles, it’s looking like a software development life cycle (SDCL *shutters*). I was hoping for a more agile approach, but then again, this is school and going through the processes is pretty essential. So from my previous post, [...]
Health and Wellness: The Ambiguous Beginnings
Starting new projects are always fun and mysterious. The open endedness really allows you to explore crazy ideas and really see what the rest of the team is thinking. That kind of insight is really important, because it allowed me (and others) to see more of what drives our own thinking and perspective.
We [...]
Designers Need to Design More
Adaptive Path is one of the companies you want to work for. I’ve frequented their website many times in the past looking at what they are up to and the kind of work they do for inspiration. The very idea of Interaction Designer took root (for me) from this company. Now they are saying [...]
Adaptive Path MX 2007 Recap
For those who didn’t go down to San Francisco to attend the MX 2007 Conference, G Petroff has a great summary of the whole event. Check it out if you’re interested in what went on and learn something new about interaction design. Big names like Jesse James Garret, Adam Richardson, Tim Brown(!!), and [...]
Video: The Inner Life of a Cell
While doing more research on nanomedicine and its social impact, I came across this amazing video visualizing the activities that happen inside our bodies (all the time). It certainly has been a challenge trying to conceptualize the movements on a molecular scale, but this video changed all that. Watching this made sense. I was [...]
