Wander: Top 5 finalist in ongoing Mobile App Challenge project

wander

I am developing Wander in partnersip with a student developer as a top 5 finalist in the University of Minnesota mobile App challenge. The beta is scheduled for completion in March. My concept was chosen out of 60 other submissions and my presentation can be viewed here. Wander infuses spontaneity and adventure into moments of stagnant time. For the traveler with just a few hours to see the highlights, or the local who wants to discover the city’s “hidden gems” between meetings, Wander sets a goal-based itinerary responsive to a user’s input.

I am, at my core, a problem solver. I believe in intersections and collaboration. Making connections with people from every step of the design process is one of the most rewarding parts of my work. I am interested in most things. I believe that if your mind isn’t blown at least once a week, you’re doing something wrong. I want to implement ideas never seen before, and to create effective designs that enhance people’s lives.
