Hi there, thanks for dropping by. Take a look around, kick the tires and let me know what you think.

 I’m a UX pro with fifteen years of experience shaping the way human beings process, perceive, and interact with information, places, and one another. My academic training is as an Interaction Designer with a strong focus on games and learning.

I’ve been called a lot of things in my career; designer, teacher, volunteer, copywriter, creative director, peon, bus driver, ditch digger, door-to-door meat salesman, waiter and “hey you”; but I respond most positively to “Trip” (which isn’t my given name, but hey, its a LOT cooler than Douglas V. ODell III, right?)

I live in Silicon Valley   Montclair, NJ ( long story) with my wife, our two children, and an emotionally distant Labrador named Duke. I’m always on the lookout for cool new opportunities to work with smart, interesting people that want to change the world.
