- Hi, I'm Will, I'm currently playing for ZOKU.
I am an industrial and visual communications designer. I also have experience in design research, UI/UX design and physical computing. Plainsboro, New Jersey is my current home, about an hour from NYC or Philly.
After two years of contract work with four respected design firms, I have finally joined the creative team at ZOKU in Hoboken, NJ, full-time.
My spare time is filled with geocaching, cloud-spotting, all forms of frisbee, physical hacking, Skillshare, anything with cheese on it, typography, boomerang, sketch-noting, rallying in my MR2, biking, almost all games, science, info-graphics, gadgets and pie.
My work
As a professional problem-seeker, visualizer and future-thinker, I am committed to the transformation of the ordinary into the meaningful, the useful, and the wonderful.
Many of my projects revolve around human interaction; this often involves the dissection of an existing system through research, identification of new opportunities, and the development of new solutions - the Design Process.
Buzzwords that get me going: simplicity, empathetic approach, iterative development, inclusive design, sustainability, human factors, physical hacking, make-kits, actionable insight, cultural embrace, social impact, gamification, bi-directional interaction, info-graphic.
