About
Jason is a designer, researcher, and strategist of interactions and critical media working in both applied and conceptual fields of emerging technology. Jason works with artificial intelligence, IoT, microcomputing, and networking to design and propose interactions that work with the humans as collaborators. Jason incorporates theory and techniques from art, architecture, and political science using graphic design, fiction, film, user experience design, speculation, and industrial design. Jason’s work draws heavily from the fragmentation, hybridity, and multiplicity of places such as Shanghai, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, and Jakarta. These spaces provide frameworks to think about access, density, population, quality of life, and communication to create work that seeks to engage with a broader world but also welcomes the messiness and confusion of these places.
Jason has exhibited and presented work at Ars Electronica in Linz, AAAI Symposium in Palo Alto, and at the Microsoft Design Expo in Redmond.
Previously, Jason ran a small design consultancy with three peers completing work in graphic, industrial, video, and motion design in Seattle. Jason collaborated with Paul Wylde on industrial design strategy projects working with clients such as JetBlue and Hilton. Jason has also worked in Shanghai, China as a UX and UI designer at ReignDesign, focusing on user-centered design in a collaborative team of designers and developers.
Jason holds an MFA in Media Design from ArtCenter College of Design (Pasadena, California). Additionally, Jason holds a BA in Psychology and BFA in Industrial Design from the University of Washington (Seattle, Washington).
