A brand new adventure

Good news, everyone! Starting in January, I’ll be joining Richard Wand‘s Experience Design team at EMC Consulting as a user experience architect.

Reading that piece with the perspective of ten years, it’s astonishing how the far tech has advanced. But the principle of disruption in the name of progress and excellence remains fresh and relevant. It’s alive and thriving at EMC Consulting and that is why I’m so happy to join the team.
