It’s been a while since I last wrote. A ton has happened and I haven’t even had time to digest everything. I’ m looking forward to the winter break to relax and to reflect on everything I’ve learned over the past 4 months. At some point I’ll be putting up my work on a separate school portfolio.

There’s been a lot of great work coming out of the studio from all the students in the program and I’m excited to see everyone’s final projects in the coming week. School work aside, I’ve also been involved in a project with the Philip Johnson Glass House for the past month, which has been, simply put, awesome. The project will be on-going until spring 2010 and we’ll be writing in our department blog to document our process.

Finally, last month I founded a new student event for our program called, Confabulate. The year-long series of monthly events is aimed at allowing students to present topics and ideas outside of interaction design to enrich our educational experience. Fun!
