Hi there, I’m Barry Borsboom, currently a first year master student Media Technology at the university of Leiden. In the past I have worked as a designer and concept developer at O / Utrecht. Currently I’m working for Tamtam as a user interface designer and as a freelancer.

Beside my work and study I also work on a project called Transparent Spaces, in which we work on visualizing common ground in physical spaces using data from social network sites.
