Welcome to my blog
Here I dissect design with the goal of becoming a better, more intentional designer. Join me to geek out on design process and the psychology behind design. I'm especially interested in designing for human behavior to improve Service and Experience Design. I hope this blog inspires us to think about the possibilities of design and our role in using it.

Thinking about ‘designing for change’, and how Tokyo Sea Life Park creates an ‘environmental culture’
Most large scale problems require joint effort from multiple actors in the ecosystem. Reading about the architectural design rationale behind the Tokyo Sea Life Park made me think about how this actually promotes ‘designing for change’ in a subtle yet clever way. It’s one thing to make people care about a topic, it’s another thing to help them become involved in positive change.
