I believe that design is not just about artifacts. Design should be rooted in Systems Thinking and Futures Literacy because everything is connected to everything else.

I focus on creating contexts that enable the emergence of desired outcomes as part of embedded and consultative teams.

I actively look for points of confluence and coherence between the processes of designing for human interaction with technology, the design of interfaces to support those interactions, and the more macroscopic design of services that often incorporate interfaces as user facing touch points.
I approach problems with a Systems & Futures Thinking mindset, applying methods from these schools of thought and study to the process of designing solutions that are becoming less and less predominantly software-based.
I strive to champion Systems-Thinking and Futures-Literacy in design processes, and make time to design, organize, and facilitate workshops, symposia, and the like.
Design for me is not chaos with coincidental harmony, it's harmoniously weaving disorder into flexible frameworks.
