Research

I am currently a full-time doctoral research student, as well as editor/conference reporter for an online interaction design magazine.

I started a full-time PhD at Northumbria University in October 2010 on the "aesthetics of touch" and how designers can better learn to articulate haptic qualities. (For more on this project, see my blog of the same name)

My undergraduate degree project at Unitec New Zealand looked at how electronic devices could help children learn music, and my Masters project (also at Unitec) combined phenomenology and craft in the service of mobile phones.

Please find here a list of some of the articles and presentations I'm rather happy with. My complete lists are on Johnny Holland and Slideshare.
