EXPERIENCE ARCHITECT & PRODUCT DESIGNER
I lead innovation teams and design award-winning products, programs, and strategies. Focusing on nascent technology, I partner with users to learn new domains, create solutions to complex problems, and apply my deep understanding of storytelling to explain the technology and evangelize its potential. I am passionate about inventing, hacking, and building products and have led innovation programs at Microsoft, Pixar, Yahoo!, SGI/Alias Wavefront, and Xerox PARC. Recently, I founded March 4th Labs to help others realize their product vision and improve how people live, learn, work, and play.
