I have a PhD from the University of Waikato, where I used to work (2000-2016). I have also previously worked in the University of Southern Denmark, and Massey University.

I lead the Visual Communication Design research group. I am interested in design of interactive visualizations to provide effective means of understating information by ordinary people in areas such as health, energy, and sustainability. I am also interested in design thinking and trying to better understand the design process, for instance by investigating the role of imagery in the visual design process.

Most of my publications can be found on Google Scholar.
