My design and business interests are. . .

My design and business interests are in taking design operations to another level within firms who often have great overall brand awareness with perhaps a weakness for great products and positive user experiences. Transforming, infusing change, mixing things up through paradym shifts and "far thinking" are my interests.

My Favorite example of a remix is. . .

Actually, DMI itself is not a bad example of "Remix". Once thought to be a professional organization of Industrial Design management, it has transformed and remixed itself over the years. It has become an organization that is less about Industrial Design and more about the endless numbers of creative cross-disciplines who manage the countless numbers of creative operations required to enable corporations and consultants educate and manage aspects of design within their respective businesses.
