Shared Vision ::
Organization Synergy for Effective Design

Oct 25, 2004 :: In this workshop I propose a design-centric method for innovating original product concepts. Starting with personas, the workshop explores conceptual models, product attributes, and experience statements, ultimately demonstrating how these tools can be applied in concert to produce a unique, rational, and desireable product vision. Originally presented at About, With and For in Chicago, Illinois. Download.

The Web Delivers Something New:
Blogs, Blogging, and the Blogosphere

Nov 08, 2003 :: Developed as a short talk for a panel on globalization and the Internet, this presentation provides an introduction to blogging as a medium. It includes a brief definition of a blog, a handful of examples, a framework for categorizing blogs, a list of tools, and the usual smattering of predictions and polemics.

A Universal Model of the User Interface

Jun 24, 2003 :: This presentation describes a universal model for deconstructing the user interface of any interactive medium or product. The utility of the model — both as a communication device and a diagnostic tool — is demonstrated via multiple examples and mediums.
