About Paul Dietz
My goal is to make the world a slightly better place by creating technologies and systems that surprise and delight, that teach and inspire, and that build connection in our fractured communities.I\'d like to think I\'m pretty good at this. Occasionally, some projects, like my early work on touch interfaces, literally changed the world in big, obvious ways. Sometimes, it\'s the students and interns that I\'ve helped launch their careers. And more typically, it\'s the fun little projects that will be lost to history, but in their moment, created a flash of joy and inspiration. When I was a Disney Imagineer, the motto on my business card said \"We Make the Magic\". It is still what I aspire to do every day.
