So what about me?

My career has been about helping people think things through. I like playing with ideas, with other people, in a collaborative team. I am interested in usability and user interaction design, particularly in participatory design and rapid prototyping.

For more than fifteen years I have been doing academic research, designing and developing software, and interacting with clients and end-users. People like to hear me give talks. I have given many well-received lectures in industry, universities, and international conferences. I have also published numerous technical articles, including a doctoral dissertation.

I keep an active blog on the Ad Consumer Experience: a critical exploration of the world of advertising from the consumer’s perspective. I am also working with folks from CRI at the University of Haifa on a project concerning small-group conversations in a museum, using electronic guides (like PDAs). (the project needs students!)
