Deconstructing Product Design

I'm proud to announce I'll be a Principle Commentator in Rockport Publisher's fall publication, "Deconstructing Product Design". The book is by William Lidwell and Gerry Manasca, both experienced in the world of design. The book dissects many consumer products that at one time or another were on the cutting edge of industrial and product design. The approach is to dissect the product design and explore all facets of the design including form and function, emotional response, practical uses and more.

You might find me giving my opinion on many design aspects and personally insights on the Post-it Note, Atari Joystick, Swiss Army Knife and many other modern curiosities. You'll likely here some snarky, yet constructive remarks.

This book will be out in Fall of 2009.

See my work in a Library in your town

Much of my work has been published over the years. You can check out my work at a public library, design school, or in books on Amazon. I don't have all my work on my online portfolio, so you'll often find other design and art surprises throughout these publications.

These books are focused on design and come from amazing publishers like Rockport here in the states and Viction:ary in Hong Kong. These are some of my favorite books my work appears in:
