I always make a point of encouraging my clients to have a strong vision and a strategy for achieving that vision before they set out to design their products. I need to start practicing what I preach. It’s been 11 months since I went solo and the past year has been a whirlwind. I’m fortunate [Keep Reading…]

I am proud to have been the user experience designer on this project, blessed with the opportunity to work with an amazing Happy Cog team: Jeffrey Zeldman, creative director; Erin Kissane, content strategist; Naz Hamid, designer; Aaron Gustafson, [Keep Reading…]
The boxee website redesign
A few days ago, boxee announced a big redesign to their website. As their user experience consultant, I helped to make the site easier to use and gave greater prominence to some key features — like finding friends and managing web services. The necessity for these changes became very apparent during the interviews I conducted [Keep Reading…]
Photo of the day: Mister Softee is healthier than Starbucks
Do do, do do do, do do, do do, do do, do do, do do do. Do do, do do do, do do, do do, do do, do do, do do do. Yep, that’s the Mister Softee jingle. And I’m humming it with a huge smile on my face. I treated myself to a cone [Keep Reading…]
Photo of the day: The unfoggable mirror
Orian and I stayed at the Seaport Hotel in Boston a few weekends ago. After getting out of the shower I noticed that a portion of the mirror was somehow not fogged up! At first I thought it was a happy accident, but then I realized that couldn’t be and gasped at the genius of [Keep Reading…]
Photo of the day: Time To Buy Cut-Rite
I was baking at my parents’ apartment recently and pulled out their wax paper to line a cookie sheet. When I tore some off, I noticed a message pierced into the paper that read “TIME TO BUY CUT-RITE.” They use a different brand than I do so I had never seen this before. The paper [Keep Reading…]
Photo of the day: Private Parts in Public
This big guy stands in the lobby of the Time Warner Center in Columbus Circle. As I walked around it the other day, I noticed something curious about his ding-a-ling — it’s a different color than the rest of his body. Which means that more than a few people have been rubbing it as they [Keep Reading…]
Photo of the day: Insert hands to dry
When I’m in a strange, public place, the last thing I want to do is insert my hands anywhere. I went to the public restroom at the Time Warner Center in Columbus Circle and finally got to use the Dyson Airblade hand dryer! Lots of people had mentioned it before, but this was my first [Keep Reading…]
Photo of the day: No Yes No No
That’s her response to the question, “Can I take you home?” Found in the ladies’ room at Clery’s Bar in Boston, where the An Event Apart after party was held.
Photo of the day: Be aware of glass door!!!
When Orian was apartment hunting last month, he saw this sign in a vestibule and snapped a pic. A couple things amused him: 1) the three exclamation points, and 2) that the person wrote “be aware” instead of “beware” (something I might not have picked up on). I have a hard time believing the sign [Keep Reading…]
