greetings,

Since June, 2006, I've been living in New York City employed as a senior information architect with Razorfish. I also teach an Introduction to Information Architecture & Design workshop at the School of Visual Arts.

My writing has been featured in numerous publications, such as Skyscraper, Make, Pixelsurgeon, Creative Loafing, The Charleston Post-Courier, and The Korea Tribune. Most recently, I've written several professional articles, related to my work at Razorfish. You'll find a selection of these below.

Feel free to reach out if you'd like to get to know me better.

Robert
