Scott Crawford

Scott grew up with a fascination for making things with computers and the tools in his father’s woodshop.  More recently this fascination has focused on the use of parametric modeling, digital fabrication, and simulation analysis and the potential for these tools to strengthen a designer’s intuition while also increasing the designer’s flexibility to respond to change.  Scott holds an undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University of Maryland Baltimore County, a Masters of Architecture and a Masters of Science in Design Computing from the University of Washington.

Alumni

Dan Belcher

Dan’s primary interest is fostering emerging interfaces and design processes which lead to insight. With a background in research science, interaction design, and computer graphics, he is equally comfortable amongst engineers as artists. Dan holds undergraduate degrees in Philosophy and Cognitive Science from Brown University and a Masters in Design Computing from the University of Washington. Dan came to LMN from ARToolworks, where he was a user-experience designer working on Augmented Reality applications. Before becoming interested in architectural design, he was a member of the Virtual Environment Navigation Lab, the Human Interface Technology Lab, and the Design Machine Group.  Dan co-founded LMNts in 2009 and managed the eclectic array of “Special Operations” until 2012, before moving on to his own projects.  Dan can be found at http://db-rep.net.
