Richard has worked as an educator from the high school level through to post-graduate programs; a designer and illustrator for project from children’s early reading aids to album covers; and (most recently, and for much longer) as a technical specialist working on international democracy, rights, and governance programs to support data-driven assessment and decision making.

Now he does UX Design and Research.

He believes that:

• Communities and the people in them are the core motivation for the work we do

• Play is fundamental to learning

• Everyone can draw

His favorite projects have included researching Ainu and Inca folklore, constructing puppets for theater productions, and assembling a pirate map and buried treasure for his son to find (which he’s sure will happen any year now).
