Most recently before that I was Head of Design at Lunar Energy - connecting hardware, software and brand identity work together in order to make clean, endless energy from our sun into a simple, beautiful proposition for homeowners. I worked at Google for just under a decade. First of all at the Google Creative Lab in NYC, on cutting edge projects involving clean energy, VR and AR for education, connectivity, urban computing and helping hackers rescue a NASA probe from the 1970s.

At Nokia, I drove design research, working on areas as diverse as RFID/NFC applications of tangible/physical interfaces and the human universal experience of play. Then, transferring that work to the business-facing side of design - as Director of User-Experience Design for the Multimedia Division of Nokia Design, part of the team responsible for driving the Nokia Nseries user-experience.
