For example, the Amtrak conductor uniforms are amazing. They both blend aesthetic design evoking old timey trains with modern concerns like device pockets. They’re pretty neat. I’m excited to blend what I do with #IxD and mix that with this new endeavor. 🔄 0 👍 1 Original URL

with the fashion design degree. Why? Because I think fashion design is one of the most overlooked human-centered #Design fields. What other sets of objects do you use daily as much as your clothes. And it gets even more interesting when you design for specific careers. 2/ 🔄 0 👍 2 Original URL

Since the cat’s out of the bag, I was supposed to go on sabbatical next fall and do some work with design researchers in Denmark. Plus, I was accepted to an associates degree program in fashion design. Not sure if the sabbatical is going to happen but I’m moving forward 1/ 🔄 0 👍 8 Original URL

My take on this open discussion about the #CHI2020 funding model shows that labs with multiple papers that only send one or two people to present them is maximizing publications and minimizing costs at the expense of smaller groups who go but get few in. https://medium.com/sigchi/how-should-the-sigchi-community-distribute-the-cost-of-publication-97adca5dae2a 🔄 0 👍 1 Original URL
