I’m Timothy Miller and my work is concerned with quasi-design, which is a method of design, social analysis and self-experimentation. Quasi-design involves designing and hosting workshops which help people explore how they might work more creatively. These workshops are also used to explore how people interact with design and technology, and how and to what extent people's expectations of the social world are informed by design.
