So..as you can all see, it’s been over a month since my last post, and what a busy month it has been as I’ve moved myself across 3 time zones to Palo Alto. I have so many “OMG this would be a great thing to write about” topics in my head but no much time to do it. Don’t worry all the topics will make it here…eventually. If you follow me on twitter you would know this already, but I’ve meaning to post it here…….

I got published! I think their is a time at some point in every designers career that they realize people care about what they put together.  I’m not talking about people who “have to” care about you designed like the employer who is paying you, the consultant who hired you, the professor who is marking you. I’m talking about people who opt in to caring about your design because they see the value in it after it’s been designed. Maybe it’s the customers that buy the product because it’s easy to use or in my case the publisher that’s responsible for the “Publications” section that will be added to my resume. A conference paper that I co-authored with my design team for the memory prompting device for Alzheimer’s patients was published! We were pretty excited about it. You can check out the abstract here.

That’s all for now, sorry it’s not too interesting…I will post some stuff soon. I also want to get all the details up about the Disney project, and how much I’m enjoying living and working in Silicon Valley.
