Certifications

The world of design and technology is ever changing, with the possibility of new paradigms and ideas popping up on a daily basis. For anyone working in these fields staying up to date and continuing their professional education is a necessity, especially for those of us who specialize in developing solutions for those wicked problems that lie at the heart of design thinking. In order to stay abreast of the latest developments I am constantly seeking out new information and ideas, and in the course of my professional development studies have amassed quite a few certificates which are listed below, organized by subject.
