Biographical Information
I teach user experience design, information architecture and human-information interaction at Kent State University.
I study the messy nature of information in everyday life. I am especially interested in the epistemic benefits of interaction in open-ended, cognitively-complex, and information-rich activities.
I'm a founding member of the Information Architecture Institute.
My wife is a better information architect than I am.
I'm Canadian.
