Hello!

My name is Greg. I’m an award winning tenured professor (with a fancy title !), ethically-focused design researcher, champion of co-design, presenter of research, writer of op-eds, maker of robots, designer of fashion, and possibly an Emmy winner. More than likely, you’ve never heard of me.

With 20 years of Design experience, I help organizations and students design with their users. See my work over the last few years.

I have a research portfolio and a blog. My CV is also available. Now I’m on Mastodon.

Accessibility in educational materials are really important. My frustration comes from the lack of open source tools to make PDFs have the proper structure tags that are “now” required. My uni keeps telling us to use Acrobat Pro.

Today is the day for responding to lots of email. It is week 4 of the semester and that has defintiely become the one thing I’ve slipped behind on.

It looks like malformed UTF was the culprit of not being able to post. Does this work? #highhopes #posse

I can only procrastinate a paper so long…did this post correctly with only the contents and no white space? #posse #highhopes

Maybe this one is better and has a lot less white space at the beginning? I am using AI to help solve this and it can be unhelpful after being crazy helpful

Ok, hopefully this cross post from my site will render a bit better. #highhopes

No, that wasn’t the first post to Mastodon. Hopefully this one is? #highhopes

This could be my first post from my blog to Mastodon. #IHaveHighHopes

Every morning, I try to do the Apple News emoji game and mini-crossword. Recently, the mini crossword author changed and it’s way harder.

Goodbye Chair

I got rid of the barber’s chair as my desk chair. It was much too heavy.
