Christopher Fahey’s Summary
I am a founding partner and user experience director at Behavior. I also blog frequently about user experience 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. Before the Web took over the world, however, 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.
My user experience design sensibilities are informed by the high usability standards of web application development and the experimental approaches of game design. My interactive artwork has been featured at the Whitney Museum and the New Museum.
Teaching is also important to me. I will be on the faculty of the new MFA in Interaction Design program at SVA in 2009. I have taught undergraduate interaction design at FIT and at Brooklyn College. I also speak about interaction design and information architecture at professional conferences, including SXSW, ASIS&T IA Summit, Euro IA, An Event Apart, the Society for Technical Communications SUmmit, and the O'Reilly Web 2.0 Expo.
