The professional work highlighted here focuses on my projects at Razorfish, where I helped large companies plan their user experience strategy. The student work represents an intentionally less practical, more visionary exploration of cutting-edge interaction design approaches. My thesis project brings the visionary and practical approaches together, creating a forward-thinking system for use in real-world hospital environments with existing or emerging technologies.
