Personal Trajectory:
In more than twenty years of product design, I've influenced the creation of literally billions of physical artifacts. These modern artifacts have brought joy and delight, ease of use and safety to many. They've provided ample profits for the businesses I've worked with. I've also become more aware that they've had an impact on our shared environment. In the next twenty years, I'd like to provide the same value to people that use the products that I influence and the businesses that I work for, but now in a way that helps to restore our environment.
