About
Hello! I'm Josh an educator and a designer. I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Industrial Design from Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah and a Master’s degree in design from the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington. I have more than 10 years of professional experience creating meaningful products and managing creative and collaborative teams. My work has been recognized with several awards including an IDEA Gold and an IxDA Best in Category.
Primarily I like investigating how interactions between people and technology transform experiences and connect us — especially in improving experiences for patients in healthcare by implementing a patient-centered design approach to innovations in this area. -
