Harry Mann<br />

For me <strong>design</strong> is essentially about the ability to<br />

empathise.<br />

A <strong>design</strong>ed object becomes a host to <strong>interaction</strong><br />

<strong>and</strong> as <strong>design</strong>ers we guide this experience in<br />

such a way that it is intuitive <strong>and</strong> exciting.<br />

I have learned that in <strong>design</strong>ing I am always<br />

creating a narrative <strong>and</strong> this directs the very<br />

purposeful selection <strong>and</strong> placement <strong>of</strong> elements,<br />

leading to a <strong>design</strong> outcome that is aesthetically<br />

beautiful <strong>and</strong> eective. Today anything that can<br />

be made digital, will be, <strong>and</strong> through the fusion<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>design</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>computing</strong> technologies we are<br />

ultimately changing the ways we communicate,<br />

interact <strong>and</strong> collaborate. This is something I’m<br />

very excited to be a part <strong>of</strong>.<br />

Design Computing has given me the knowledge<br />

<strong>and</strong> underst<strong>and</strong>ing to <strong>design</strong> <strong>and</strong> the technical<br />

ability to bring my ideas to fruition. During my<br />

degree I have worked with Mozilla Labs in<br />

creating a cross-cultural social communication<br />

tool, created an interactive game, a virtual space<br />

for collaboration, <strong>and</strong> I’ve also traveled to South<br />

Korea on exchange, where I was able to work<br />

with Hyundai in creating gesture based user<br />

interfaces for future cars.<br />
