You’re a Star

I enter a large warehouse through these heavy, industrial doors, and into a room filled with whiteboards on the right. Tyler B. welcomes me in, and offers me a coffee as I take a seat on some cheap, foldable plastic chairs. “Welcome to the HoloDeck!”, says Tyler with a cheeky…

My 3 Years at Finger Food ATG

As you all have probably heard by now, the company I work for, Finger Food ATG has been acquired by Unity Technologies. This is absolutely huge. I’ve had the privilege to work at Finger Food for almost 3 years — 3 years in June to be precise. I’ve always shamelessly…

Believing Augmented Reality

Below are my views only and do not represent Finger Food Studios’ views. My colleagues and I just returned from a business trip in Toronto. It wasn’t a typical business trip at all. In fact, we were all working a weekend gig — a retail job at MEC. We were…

My First Week as a MR/VR Interaction Designer

I’m joining Finger Food Studios

WOKE Studio was a short-lived experience for me, but I learned a lot in the four months I was there. The team is extremely talented and I have a newfound appreciation for industrial design. I’m extremely grateful that Afshin brought me on board without a moment of hesitation, and for…

New status update

Hong Kong was spectacular. Guangzhou was memorable. Disneyland was magical. December 2016 was simply unforgettable. I haven’t written a Medium post in over two months!

Good Design is Always Invisible

Daily UX #5 — The design languages for both Google Material Design and Apple Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) are absolutely gorgeous.

Design for Error Handling and the Unthinkable

Daily UX #4 — If you didn’t already know, Samsung has been recalling their top-load washers in the past few months. Okay, maybe 97% of you guys didn’t know that because you either don’t wash your clothes or wear jeans for 365 days a year. Long story short, my dad recently went through a…
