As a Professor Sociology and Experience Design at Bentley University, I always seek to integrate the social sciences with business to better design for people and their environments. As a Clinical Sociologist, I help clients better understand the challenges they are facing, the opportunities that exist, and how to create solutions that are sustainable. As a professional speaker and content creation, I firmly believe in the power and importance of public scholarship, bridging the divide between academia, industry, and society. As the producer and host of Experience by Design podcast, I understand the importance of experience designs of all kinds, and how little things can make all the difference.
