Biography

California College of the Arts - Design

Experience Designer
Design
Graham
Plumb
San Francisco, California
Graham is an artist, designer and Assistant Professor at CCA, where he currently teaches students the thinking and crafting skills to become the next generation of interaction designers. Students in his classes experiment with code and tangible media, practice the art of storytelling, and generate speculative objects that imagine the future we might want - or could do without.

Formerly creative director of Snibbe Interactive and experience designer for Ralph Appelbaum Associates, he has helped to produce interactive spaces, products and services for a diverse list of clients - including Beck, Google and the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry. He continues to work with design agencies, often taking on role of creative lead, developing unique interactive experiences for museums, corporations and hospitals.

In his practice as an artist, he explores the story-telling capabilities and emotional impact of materials that bridge the physical and digital worlds.
