MAKING FRIENDS IN A FAST-PACED WORLD

An imagined app that can be used to source a friend proxy. In a world of increased digital interactions, constant migration and decreased face-to-face friendships, a friend proxy is someone paid to meet the user at a specific place, such as a museum, to improvise a synthetic intimacy or some level of friendship.

Hi there,

My name is Eric James Wilson. I'm a communicator, a maker and a thinker. I  design with people in mind, craft seamless digital experiences, research better ways of creating, and help brands tell their stories.

I'm always on the lookout for like-minded creatives and I think I'm even a pretty good cook.

 

Don't Be A Stranger
