|| Research Goals
I seek a pedagogy of systems: all my design research investigates how individuals learn to interact with different machines, systems, or obects of apprehension - and how we are shaped by those interactions in turn.
|| Accidental Testimonials
“Somehow, everything just gets better when Brad’s around”
“There goes a certified life-lover”
“Brad’s very creative, but not in the way you probably thought when I said that... he really likes greyscale post-it’s”
“Goodness gracious, you were actually listening to the words coming out of my mouth? Nobody does that.”
“Brad likes to think outside the box... sometimes we have to bring him back inside the box” -pre-k teacher
