Christopher Fahey’s Summary
I am a founding partner at Behavior and lead the company's Information Architecture practice. I also blog frequently about interactive design and many other things at http://www.graphpaper.com. I've been designing and building interactive experiences since I was a kid hacking away on my Commodore 64, and I still love it.
Behavior's focus is on Web-based projects for our great corporate and institutional clients, but I'm an interaction design generalist. Before the Web took over the world, I was a game designer for two pioneering early-90's interactive media studios, Music Pen and Wanderlust Interactive, where I produced and designed several award winning CD-ROM games.
So my user experience design sensibilities are informed by both the high usability standards of web application development and the experimental approaches of game design. I also make interactive artworks and experimental online projects, which can be found at my personal web site http://www.graphpaper.com. My interactive artwork has been featured at the Whitney Museum and the New Museum.
Teaching is also important to me. I have taught undergraduate interaction design at FIT and at Brooklyn College. I occasionally speak about interaction design and information architecture at professional conferences.
I graduated from The Cooper Union with a focus on interactive sculptures and installations. I also studied at the Gerritt Rietveld Academie in The Netherlands.
