Services
I offer specialized services focused on improving how people interact with complex information, creating intuitive interfaces, and designing digital environments that align with natural cognitive patterns.
With over 20 years of experience spanning visual design, information architecture, software engineering, and AI systems, I work across traditional disciplinary boundaries. This background allows me to unite aesthetic rigor, technical proficiency, and human-centered principles when working on novel human-computer interactions.
By integrating conceptual exploration with technical implementation, I help organizations navigate emerging shifts in human-information interaction and articulate strategic futures for technology that enhances human capability.
