Hi. I am Troy Finamore.

I am currently the Program Director of User Experience & Interaction Design in Drexel University‘s College of Media Art & Design.

While I teach students to be very organized and analytical in the collecting and analyzation of data to inform design decisions that ultimately lead to clean, beautiful and intuitive digital user interfaces, my personal living spaces are ripe with chaos, piles of papers, books, tools, and other miscellaneous items scattered about my workspace. While I intuitively that feel there is a reason behind their placements, a masterplan, I find it hard to explain. I often think I know exactly where the a needed item should be, but more often than not, I struggle to find it because it is not where I expect it to be. It is not until I find the item that I remember the reasoning for its placement. This is approach I take in my work. While entropy is randomly breaking things down, I want to find the order. I strive to create art the is random with a feeling of order. Where a swipe of color, or a dot, may seem out of place at first, but upon reflection, if feels like it is exactly where it needs to be. Chaos with balance. Intention with entropy.

I am also the owner of Finamore Design where where I design and develop all means of business branding and communications. This includes; logos, websites, stationery, advertising, brochures, catalogs, direct mailers, apps, or anything else you may need.

When not teaching, designing, or doing fun things with my family, I am exploring all avenues of creativity, (mainly for self-fulfillment). In the past I have worked in oils, acrylics, glass, photography, and more.

If you see anything you like or want to commission me to do a custom piece for you, please feel free to give me a shout.
