Designer, of the industrial/interactive type. I post pictures to flickr, bookmarks to del.icio.us, and day-to-day minutiae to twitter. I also have a portfolio.

Design criticism is, by necessity, more self-aware of its proximity to the marketplace than are other critical genres like art or literature. It must deal explicitly with the mechanics of making, retail, and distribution — the greasy wheels of commerce — and that’s why the primary location of today’s design criticism at the heart of the biggest online marketplace, Amazon.com makes so much sense. Online customer reviews deal with design on its own terms; they understand design’s unique complicity with commerce.
Good read at Design Observer.
