About

profilepic2-pola

My name is Mark and I’m a product interaction designer. Or something.

I am currently a PhD candidate in the Horizon Digital Economy Research Hub at the University of Nottingham. As well as conducting my own research into the design of more emotionally valuable and temporally enduring technologies, I continue to be involved in ongoing research projects exploring the possibilities of  ’Technology Heirlooms’.

Anyway, feel free to have a look around and if  you think you might be interested in working with me get in touch.
