For over 30 years I have worked as an executive, strategist, and designer in the context of operating systems, media applications, web services, products, the built environment, and digital games. Currently, I'm building a Foundation to help cities and other public organizations develop and share what we call Public Code, software and policy that is open, legible, and useful at the civic scale. Before this, I was a Design Fellow at Samsung, leading a project on room-scale programmable environments. Previously, I helped design the massively multiplayer game that became Flickr [and also named it], founded the Experience Design Lab at Frogdesign, and was CEO of Bloom Studios, whose data visualization iPad app Planetary was acquired by the Smithsonian Institution.
