Tim is a Senior Interaction Designer at Nokia working in London, who spends a huge amount his time making prototypes of phones, applications and operating systems. At Nokia, Tim and his colleagues make prototypes as fast as they can from anything that is available from post-it notes and bits of broken computers to programming in C++ and Flash, and they like to make lots of mistakes so that they can learn from them. Tim has previously worked for Microsoft and Intel in the US mostly making prototypes but also conducting ethnographic studies - following people around in their everyday lives understanding how they use technology in China and the USA. He holds three degrees: MA Computer Related Design from the Royal College of Art, an MSc Mechatronics from Hull University and an BSc Cybernetics from Reading University.
