🖤 Passionate about designing things that make people's lives better. I have a broad background in design including contextual design, user experience and graphics. 🎓 PhD in Contextual Design. For me it's not just about designing the products that people use; I'm also interested in when, where and why they use them, and how they feel about them. 🎢 Started off as a physicist, pivoted into software design, then into other types of design (plus teaching on the side). The common thread is a desire to understand the world and create the products that people need to live in it. 🎲 When I'm not designing stuff, you can find me playing tabletop RPGs. I also write and publish game supplements, draw digital illustrations, garden enthusiastically and play the piano badly. 💚 I volunteer on the Environment and Sustainable Communities Overview and Scrutiny Committee at Durham County Council. 🐶👦🦖 The rest of the time I'm either walking a Shih Tzu or playing dinosaurs with my son. ✏️ I write about design and business-related topics at https://kelmarmon.medium.com
