Why Designers Must Think Like Contrarians: A creative cannot but look at the world differently. It is part of the job.

"But it is more than naturally having a different point of view. I think it is about actively searching for other ways, combining ideas, trying challenging approaches, generating visions, and finding other curious people to play with."

Creating Thoughtful, Engaging and Usable Experiences

Downtown Portland, Oregon

My ultimate goal has always been to create engaging and useful experiences. But I also find satisfaction in sharing many other design leaders experiences, with the intent of promoting beautiful, simple, and sensible ideas.

As I continue to practice the art and science of design thinking, I will share what I have learned, with the hope of encouraging the on-going exploration and experimention.

Experiencing beautiful design is wonderful. It reminds us of how vast and sophisticated our world really is.  Dream. Design. Share.
