Barry Borsboom’s Summary

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.

My specialties are focused on interface design and concept development. But I'm also highly interested in cognitive psychology and marketing.
