I'm currently the learning architect at 3D Avatar School, an online 3D education startup. I help define both the overall vision and the specific features of our product, based on ongoing conversations with teachers and students.

Prior to this job, I worked in R&D at various places around the world: At an innovation consultancy in Barcelona, a technology think tank in Palo Alto, and in interaction design groups in Beijing and San Francisco.

I was recently interviewed by BBC Radio about my recession comic, have co-authored a patent and two papers on interaction design, and graduated with honors from Brown University.

Keywords that I'm familiar with include product strategy, user experience design, customer development, human computer interaction and futures forecasting.

More details if you ask nicely.

I take notes in a variety of places. Besides my analog Moleskines, I also keep several public blogs:

• 八八吧 :: 88 Bar
  for my findings on China tech/design
• New Things in Education
  for interesting ideas & developements in education
• Tall Tales, Short Stories & Modest Musings
  for personal miscellany
