He views these meaningful differences through the lens of pioneering visions in interactive computing, which optimistically outlined the potential for technologies to augment our cognitive and collaborative abilities as we solve important problems.

In his consulting efforts, Jacob seeks to reframe status quo conversations in the development of specialized technologies for knowledge workers. He works with clients to advance their dialog toward a better understanding of design strategy, while emphasizing underlying principles and possibilities in computer mediated work practice.
Jacob challenges clients with new goals and processes, supporting product teams as they envision diverse offerings and sketch elaborative concepts. To inform strategic ideation and ensure real world relevance, he facilitates purposeful, direct, and collaborative conversations between his clients and current or potential end users of their interactive products.
Jacob has lectured and published on topics in user experience. He holds a B.S. in Psychology and a B.S. in Technical Communication from the University of Washington. “Working through Screens” is his first book length publication.
