Academic writing serves academic people. I acknowledge the utility of this writing style within the discipline, but these texts are often insufferable.
My objective is to reach a wider audience. I either write directly in human language or take the linguistic snobbery out of my academic texts and rewrite them for the web or print.
You can find my latest rambles on Medium or Substack.
I believe in the intrinsic talent of each individual. Anyone willing to focus on a passion can achieve outstanding results.
I had the pleasure of mentoring a great variety of young talent and had a little bit of contribution to their development.
I share personal anecdotes from my career and prevent my mentees from making the mistakes I made. I also challenge their work and career choices but will always fully support their decisions.
The best way to learn is to teach. I share the insights I gathered throughout my career with the community.
Some of the talks I have been giving:
How does our cultural background influence product design?
