Hello, my name is Ted Ullrich. I am an Industrial Designer and Engineer who designs and develops connected technologies. While the digital and physical worlds are increasingly mediated by access to information, it is in their intersection that I see a space for thoughtful human-centered design solutions.

I am a futurist with a heavy respect for the past. I believe that struggle is satisfying and convenience is a slow death. I’ve learned that beautiful things grow out of nothing. I’ve been told that ‘I cannot save the world’ and ‘I cannot be everyone’s hero’. I believe bicycles, honesty, relentlessly developing a life passion, urban density and the internet are our ways out. I'm on a life mission to own nothing.

You can download my resume and design portfolio, I know that's the real reason you came. I also keep a flickr stream, a tumblr and a vimeo log that people like peruse. Oh, and of course there's facebook.

Checkout the wall, a social billboard experiment of user-submitted digital images projected in a public space. I think it needs a home, don't you?

I hold a Bachelor's Degree of Inventive Design Engineering from Purdue University (BSE), a Master's Degree of Industrial Design from Georgia Tech (MID) and have studied architecture in Copenhagen, Denmark and around Scandinavia. I will never be done with learning new things.
