I'm Greg, currently doing Interaction Design and think-tanking for the wild an crazy guys at Poke New York.

I was an ACE (Arts Computation Engineering interdisciplinary program) student in the Informatics & Computer Science department at UCI. I worked with Simon Penny, Paul Dourish, Bill Tomlinson, and David Kirsh.

Several lifetimes ago, I studied Cognitive Science & Computation with David Kirsh, Jeff Elman, Rik Belew at UCSD.

I'm interested in exploring the way design both dictates and allows for more effective interaction. My current focus is on creating systems that are both functional and emotionally fulfilling. Lately, I've branched into the design of ubiquitous devices. A musician and philosopher at heart, I enjoy returning to my roots by framing and exploring them in a software/hardware medium.

I've made a few neat things. The one that gets the most attention is PersonalSoundtrack, a device that detects how fast you're walking and plays music from your library at the same speed. I've recently ported it to the iPhone and iPod Touch, so feel free to download it if you want.
