Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJustin Blinder is a creative technologist and researcher with 16 years of experience designing award-winning interactive products and immersive experiences for clients like The New York Times, Nike, Verizon, IBM, GE, and Qualcomm. Currently a Research Affiliate at the MIT Media Lab and a Creative Prototyper on Core AI at Meta, he blends research-driven practice with hands-on prototyping across XR, IoT, wearables, mapping, data visualization, and AI. His work has received recognition from Fast Company, Cannes Lions, the Webbys, Clios, and D&AD, reflecting a rare mix of artistic sensibility and technical rigor. He has led R&D efforts and developer teams on commercial campaigns and experimental installations, and taught immersive media and product development at The New School and City College of New York. Comfortable moving between consultancy, academia, and large tech, he often turns speculative research into practical tools for journalists, public health, and urban mobility. A lesser-known throughline in his career is a persistent focus on tactile, spatial interactions—translating sensor-driven hardware and mapping data into compelling human experiences.
