ABOUT

He championed the idea that technology is an ingredient and not the whole recipe as he explored how new technologies will evolve the places we live in by making the context a contributing part of the way places are productive.
As the Vice President of Retail Design and Development for Samsung Electronics America, he lead the creation of the Samsung Experience centers.
Prior to Samsung, Alan was Firmwide Creative Media Leader at Gensler, the world's largest architecture firm, where he was responsible for Digital Experience Design External Partnerships and New Technology Initiatives.

"We ADAPT to our changing environment by EVOLVING our practice to allow us to PIVOT instead of needing to change course completely.
You can’t stop change. The best you can hope to do is manage its effects on your reality. To do that you must be an active participant in change." - Alan Robles
