RON BRONSON

I've spent years studying the relationship between technology and its impact on everyday life—from consequence design examining how anti-patterns ruin online experiences, to more recent accelerations of alienation caused by platforms and web tools. As a scholar-practitioner, I bring decades of experience in iterative software delivery, legacy modernization, and leading world-class teams to bear on questions of technology's role in modern life.

Currently, I teach in the urban technology program at the University of Michigan, and spent years as head of design at the pioneering federal digital services agency 18F.

Offline, I'm a co-host of the Future Perfect Book Club podcast; President Emeritus of AIGA Portland & Founder of the PDX Digital Corps, a successful high school tennis coach; occasional community radio news anchor & host. I also spend part of my summers in Finland.
