Design Expertise Areas (Detailed):

My area of expertise is in Experience Design Strategy, Research, and Design.
I spend a great deal of time teaching others about experience design (HCI), helping them think about how to be innovative in their experience design efforts, helping them determine the best types of research to find out what they need to know, and developing new methods and techniques for improving the overall quality of experiences.
