I research, design, and develop digital tools and data‑driven interfaces.
I run flow/control — a boutique research & development studio.
We solve design challenges ranging from inventing new interfaces for drug development, through building dashboards for European Space Agency, to creating data visualization pieces for Google I/O or Mayor of London.
I'm a principal investigator at Ink&Switch — an industrial research lab, where I explore various topics around end-user programming and tools for thinking and doing.
I also speak at conferences, give workshops and teach.
For a detailed history and upcoming events, have a look at my bio.
In my free time I work on personal projects, independent research, and make drone/ambient music from deconstructed acoustic sounds.
