Hi there, I’m Barry Borsboom, currently a fourth year student Communication and Multimedia Design. In the past I have worked as a designer and concept developer at O / Utrecht. Currently I’m working for Tamtam as an user interface designer.
In juli ‘08 I started my own company, Transparent Spaces, in which we work on visualizing common ground in physical spaces using data from social network sites.
Beside my study, work and my own company I play tennis, read books, watch movies and backpack my way around the world.
