In my work, I integrate the social with technology. This is an integration of: design and art; research; business and marketing; and the social sciences. In my first Quaker meeting, a young girl said, I often forget that we are all connected. The best work in design and technology always identifies the connections...to make a thing that was not there before is good work and a big responsibility, and aligning what is created to the interconnectedness of society and organizations results in technology that is engaging, purposeful, beautiful and profitable.
