        Adam was a design + game facilitator at the world-premiere Future of Fashion Gameference. It's always tougher to facilitate at a brand new Gameference, because we can't really tell facilitators what to expect. Adam had it doubly hard, because he was the only facilitator with two teams at the same time. And he was amazing! Adam was so adept at assessing team dynamics, lining those up with objectives, and seeing where to push and when and how to guide ... all with such charm, warm humor, and charisma. If you need someone to lead a diverse team through some challenging collaborative design, I strongly recommend Adam! I'm happy to provide a more detailed recommendation at any time.

        Adam is probably one of the most passionate design researchers I've ever met. You can see the love in his eyes when he talks about it and he channels this fire into his work. He's also a truly compassionate individual, committed to doing social good in the best possible way - a win-win.
