Something unique about you summed up in one sentence
I can fall asleep anywhere. It’s hard being me.
Your favorite part of working at Bold Insight
At any given moment, you will encounter laughter, smarts, and all around nice people. You can see, hear and feel the energy of the team that drives right into projects–this is the work environment to die for.
In your spare time (or if you had spare time), you would absolutely do this:
Build more LEGOs.
How long have you been in the UX field?
Since 1992.
You cannot start the day without doing this...
Pressing the espresso button on the coffee machine at work.
Your ultimate celebrity dinner party guest list would include:
Philip K Dick who wrote so many stories that made you think, Emily Blunt because she would have something to say while being quite witty and is an amazing actor, John Krasinski, and Ryan Reynolds.
Long-term personal or professional goal?
I would like to publish a book. I am 85% done and have a publisher ready but need to finish the manuscript on AI and UX.
Any other facts to share?
I bid on an auction for an Olympic mascot statue. I have been to a bunch of Olympic games since 1992 and after completing the acquisition of User Centric, I decided to get one from London. It was made from the last few drops of metal to build the Olympic Stadium and sits the entrance to the stairs of my house.
