A former Global Head of Mobility User Experience at Accenture and Partner, Global Head of Digital Design at Wipro Digital, current Chairman of the User Centered Design Society and has relaunched or launched Design as a USP in six global enterprises.

Ever since I was in elementary school in the 1970's where i failed maths on purpose to use the only computer there, which tested your maths skills to bring understanding, I have been fascinated by how technology can augment the lives of humans. It was hard going teaching myself binary and hex programming but always my desire was not to build things that humans already do but to find out how technology could evolve our human experience.

I'm still looking for the Gene Roddenberry future today where humanity pulls together and projects all of us the the next stage of evolution. Ubiquity or the IoT is a gateway point to that evolution so I'm highly engaged. I have been involved in Human Centered Design my entire career from designing products to websites to mobile applications and always reverting to the intended users to avoid waste. At heart I'm an inquisitive person, unashamed of failure provided I learn and by learning continue to find unexpected solutions and delightful experiences.

But my focus will always revert to back to design and a simple ethos

"is it something that enhances human life, does it enable everyone that uses it and do I leave a recipe that others can use, adapt or evolve".

I'm looking forward to SXSW to learning and sharing and being challenged in my thinking, see you there.
