About DSri Seah

I'm a non-binary Taiwanese-American living in Southern New Hampshire near Boston. I like cats, regional foods, style, and the evolution of designed objects. I see the world as a collection of conceptual models are fun to remix. My overarching goal is to create a self-sustaining community of curious, conscientious, positive-minded, self-empowered, competent, generous, and kind people...it would great to hang out and surprise ourselves with what we are able to make!

I go by the name DSri (also spelled Sri and pronounced like sreeee) though David is still my legal name. I greatly appreciate being referred to with they/their/them pronouns...thanks!

Stuff I Like

I write about productivity and personal development as I try out different entrepreneurial paths. Along the way I've made visual thinking tools like The Emergent Task Planner and The Compact Calendar, which you can find on my productivity tools page.

I'm broadly interested in thinking tools, creative synthesis, conceptual mapping, and multi-sensory approaches to user interface/experience design. However, I'm really driven to understand the emotional barriers one faces when creating in the face of uncertainty so I can devise sneaky ways to get around them.

My background is in visual design and computer programming. I enjoy talking about concept modeling, media techniques in realtime computing systems, and the process of creating anything novel and new. I'm gathering all these thoughts here on dsriseah.com, which is also my prototype personal knowledge management system. You can read more about that on the about page.
