This is where the big text will go. Talk about interests.

Traditionally, researchers have conducted field studies to learn more about the people for whom they are designing. However, in today’s economic climate sending teams around the world can be cost prohibitive, time consuming and resource intensive. Visiting people in a limited number of locations, for mere hours at a time isn’t enough.

While considerable research exists on the social impacts of digital communication, online consumption and the Web, we have paid far less attention to the opportunities presented by digital technology to understand people’s lives. Interested in exploring this opportunity space, I’ve teamed up with Kyle Larkin to advance the use of online tools as a means to connect with people over time and space to produce new, deep and continuing insights.
