Monday, December 3, 2012. Art in an Unlikely Environment. Would you buy this piece? Would you believe its actually a series of drawings produced by a bored hospital patient on paper napkins? You should, because this is exactly what I encountered this past weekend while working. Even though I was wearing my therapist hat that day, the quality of this effort was not lost on me.

Wednesday, May 30, 2012. Stretching the boundaries of Design. Recently, I wrote an article in collaboration with Omhu. To emphasize the influence of perception on individual choices and behavior.
