Bio
i design products that change the way we work, play, and live. currently, executive design director @change.org. lover of sunshine. curious traveler. voracious reader. part mary poppins. part joan of arc. 100% believer that design does good.
I'm passionate about
new solutions to old problems.
An idea worth spreading
my yet-to-be-done social experiment: if we went back to addressing each other as "mr. soandso" or "ms. soandso," would we find the rest of the dialog that follows to also be a bit more respectful as well? i think american culture could use a turning back of the clock on this front.

The TED story
i'm inspired by the people TED attracts; and not just the presenters. watching TED lectures and reading comments reminds why after 13 years i still love my job. and why i keep looking for new ways and places to apply the craft. TED is *the* salon the for our generation...
