My résumé is best seen on LinkedIn. Otherwise, you can reach me via this contact form. I am currently the Head of Design for PanasonicWELL, a US-based R&D group working at the intersection of connected devices, families, and wellness.
Most recently served as Principal Design Technologist for AWS Prototyping & Cloud Engineering in NYC from 2019 - 2023. I designed and built human-centric prototypes that employ Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Robotics, Internet of Things, and Spatial Computing. Previously a UX Director for start-ups and digital creative advertising.

Contextual Augmented Reality Interfaces for the Internet of Things
In the year 2019, 833 million smart home devices were shipped worldwide - an increase of nearly 27% over the previous year. These products range from conventional appliances like lights, refrigerators, and televisions to more niche items like breadmakers and connected cradles.
With the ever-increasing sprawl of the IoT landscape, it seemed only logical that we begin to visualize and manipulate these devices in a singular, contextual, spatial interface. I worked with Ramin Firoozye to craft a UI prototype for what his ARIoT concept would look like in practice. The results of which were revealed at AWS Reinvent 2019.
Components of the design system:
The initial concept of a connected home was also extended to agriculture technology.
