Capabilities & Interests
Psychology, Media & Technology
Cyberpsychology
Exploring interactions between humans and computational machines helps us understand the impacts to the human mind and its wellbeing.
Media Psychology
Applying psychological science to the interaction between people and all forms of media technologies reveals a lot about how mediated technologies influence our behavior.
Positive Technology
Studying and designing human-computer interactions with a benevolent focus on happiness, empathy, and human resilience is at the very root of what ethical technology is all about.
Digital Politics
Analyzing the psychological roots and communication technologies influencing partisan behavior, motivated reasoning, and other dimensions of digital politics is essential to understand our radically-transforming political world.
Neuro Design & Creative
Neuroaesthetics & Semiotics
I design persuasive experiences by leveraging facets from psychological aesthetics, neuroscience, and human evolution.
Creative Technology
Enhancing human-centeredness to create better digital experiences is what I do (and have done for nearly three decades).
Graphic Designer
I’m a producer of strong visual communications that simplify the presentation of information in a relevant and meaningful way.
Illustrator & Visual Artist
I simply just love to draw and paint, mostly for myself … but perhaps one day for children’s books, which has been a lifelong aspiration.
