About Joshua Cohen

Solving a complex problem often requires a change of perspective. I use a range of 2d and 3d graphics tools to visualize key issues, test possible solutions, and deliver powerful visual stories. Deep experience in technical fields (engineering, architecture, construction, transportation and litigation) allows me to get up to speed quickly on projects that would be challenging for many designers to comprehend. I believe that design is a process, not a result. My practice is focused on using real-time visualization tools that allow multidisciplinary project teams to collaborate more effectively, even over a distance.
