Designing Associates is a group of new media and technology researchers in industry and academia.

We have diverse backgrounds and interests. Our training includes systems and software engineering, psychology, artificial intelligence programming and design, especially focused on human-computer interaction and computer supported cooperative work. Our interests and inspirations are plentiful. Some examples include anthropology, cultural studies, film studies, hardware prototyping, sociology, and urban studies.

Our portfolio of recent research projects include public displays, tangible interfaces, embodied conversational interface characters, and in-context chat spaces.
