In December, 2016, I had the extraordinary opportunity to travel to the Antarctic Peninsula for a 10-day trip. I photographed my experience extensively and also wrote about in my Journal from the White Continent.

Back in August, I wrote a piece on Medium entitled "There Is No Illegal Immigrant Crisis." The Huffington Post asked to reprint this piece and since then I've continued with a series of articles on the subject, which have gathered thousands of views and shares on both platforms. I hope to continue the series with several related pieces.
Here are the first three from this series as they appear on the Huffington Post:
Internet Freedom Festival /
I was very excited to attend the Internet Freedom Festival this year in Valencia, Spain (March 1-6) and to volunteer as a lead for the Community & Communications track. I attended many great sessions on subjects such as the Iranian Cyber Army, Privacy Across Cultures and the gender gap at Wikimedia. Above I'm pictured with Gus Andrews, Simply Secure who helped lead a UX Jam with Christopher Wood, Grid Systems. We collaborated on develop the UX for the GridSync app. I also enjoyed giving a brief presentation about our work at Razorfish to a great group of UXers and Designers at Salón de Deseño, hosted by the good folks at Simply Secure.
Chanel Workshop /
On July 20th, I had the pleasure of conducting my Collaborative Sketching workshop with the Creative and PR teams at Chanel here in New York. We also discussed the principles of collaborative techniques and how teams, which haven't typically worked together can be more productive.
Collaborative Sketching for UX at SXSW /

Had a fantastic time at SXSW Interactive this year teaching my workshop Collaborative Sketching for UX: Jumpstart Your Design!
We Are Égalité /
I was very excited to participate in this video as an ally with my LGBT+ colleagues here at Razorfish. Within the larger company Publicis Groupe, Égalité is the network for LGBT+ employees and their allies. I'm proud to work within a culture that encourages and promotes this kind of support.
Why I Walk /

I was very happy to present at Fish Talks, an internal Razorfish presentation series, this August 20th on the topic of "Why I Walk: Or how thinking about evolution made me worry about my health and love to walk."
SXSW 2014 /
I was excited to speak at SXSW again this year, this time on the subject of pattern recognition or more specifically, "Mismatched: What's Wrong With the Way We Recognize Patterns."
Here's the presentation on SlideShare.
