Experience Design






I am often asked to take part in developing "experiences," a loose term that can mean anything from a retail store to a museum to a hotel resort to a temporary village. Naturally, I work with architects, industrial designers, designers, and, as you imagine, the ratio of proposed experience to executed project is much higher than, say, website creation to website production.

Pictured here is a project that came together in a flash: with Stephane Bernier of Aedifica and Kris Manchester of Sid Lee, I conceived the poker rooms at both the Montreal Casino and the Casino Lac Leamy in Ottawa. The projects happened so efficiently that the Lac Leamy room was built and running before I even knew about it!

I love this stuff. It's one thing to have an idea and have it appear on paper or on screen. When you can walk into it and touch it, woah.
