I have chosen the barber as the case study for tackling this issue. By providing a collaborative interface for the barber and client, visual cues and display help to eliminate the fumble in communication and in the end achieve the desired goal of both.

Experience
I have a professional degree in architecture and my undergraduate contained a lot of work revolving around digital fabrication and new tools for design. Over the past two years I have more recently been utilizing micro-controllers, sensors, and computation in order to advance in potentials within my design. Overall, I would place my strengths in design, mechanisms, fabrication, and DIY electronic platforms.

Why
I am interested in this class because my past work in robotics, architecture, and technology have built into a passion for interactive and responsive environments. Most of my past work has involved interfaces at the GUI and TUI level but feel that my lack of knowledge on the subject of interfaces has not allowed for their full potential. I am excited about the opportunity  to ground myself in research and advance my knowledge towards radical atoms and better interfaces for my interactive installations.
