I have made a career of helping people ride waves of changing technologies, including cold type (typesetting with computers), the personal computer, desktop publishing, the internet, the web, email, cloud, mobile and social media - and my latest focus is our awareness of and control over data, esp with AI technologies. I'm a user experience strategist and information architect. I help organizations select and adopt new technologies to connect with their customers, prospects, employees, stakeholders, champions and communities. I empower people to use technology to communicate and interact. I work to bridge the digital divide, make the web more accessible, sponsor and model coworking and idea sharing.

Coworking, collaboration, innovation, and using technology to facilitate authentic connections and communication. We're co-creating a brave new online world, and I'm engaged in making it awesome.

I would like to help develop a "Human API" -- a set of specifications that communications technology and other interfaces and systems can follow and support to make it easier for individuals to control access to their own bodies and minds, and have appropriate control and awareness of the data that most closely concern us. i believe we are adapting to use "Attention Deficit" behaviors in order to cope with the relentless flood of incoming stimuli. Technology architects and designers can and should give users more control over the messages coming at them.

As a bootstrapped digital agency owner, I applied to attend TED in 2004, and was accepted - but my business partner at the time felt we couldn't spare the money or my time to attend. I regret not doing it anyway. I started a coworking program in San Antonio. When TED announced the TEDx program in 2009, 5 of us coworkers jumped on the opportunity. For TEDxSanAntonio, we curate a mix of global and local conversations, breaking down silos across industries and shining a light on the innovation and creativity happening here. A great benefit of organizing a TEDx event is the opportunity to meet like-minded people worldwide who love ideas and love to spread them.

Seeing situations from multiple perspectives, such as seeing problems from multiple sides to examine wicked problems. Also rapid ideation and sequencing tasks and activities.
