PROFILE

Thanks for reading. I really appreciate it.

To give you an idea about what I do, here are  some questions I am trying to answer, conversations I wish to encourage and ideas I want to disseminate.

This is a collection of design solutions for the aging experience when we may turn to our built environment, technology, helpful products, and supportive services for daily life.

My purpose is to refocus user centered design-thinking to encourage the development of innovative age aware products and services. Increasing design-thinking around this topic will transform the culture and experience of later life stages.
