About me

Canadian living in Japan for 10 years... Design is all around me, and I incorporate that into any interface I produce. As a design professional, I believe in 'responsible design', not to be confused with 'responsive design', and empathy for the end user. Have worked for Audi Japan, BMW Japan, and other high-end online presences, also smaller online presences. Doesn't really matter to me how large the project as long as a good client/user experience is end result.

Design + everything around you exists...

    www.audi.co.jp

    Lead designer for Audi Japan online presence. They wanted to invoke a more international interface, rather than a very 'Japanese style' web design. This is my area of expertise, in creating online Japanese interfaces to a western audience.

    Have a great day!

    Spray paint stencil... Running. Rapid art deployment..

    As a cyclist/messenger from a long time ago, combined with my cycling in Tokyo, combined with an urge to run/go faster than you should. I created a stencil in which I created in a very small scale version and painted it 'on the fly', while cycling.... footprints as it were.
