About Me


Design For Emotional Resonance

Hi, my name is Cy Gorman — a designer, researcher, educator, and creative technologist exploring how human and technological systems feel together.

I design experiences, services and products that resonate—emotionally, cognitively, and systemically—across emerging technologies, immersive environments, and transformations of human-centered innovation.

Let’s Connect the DOts/Data Together

Design Is a process of connection

Not just between users and interfaces, but between:

  • People and technology that interprets, learns and reflects how they feel, or what’s possible to feel

  • Responsible digital and technological innovation that serves long-term human wellbeing

  • Research and practice that aligns values and creates real-world impact

For over 15 years, I've worked at these intersections—creating experiences that don't just function, but resonate.

WHERE DO you and I CONNECT?

Affective (Emotional) Interaction Design

Designing emotionally intelligent systems through sound-color resonance, mood regulation, and affective feedback loops. Where emotion informs data, and data informs interaction dynamics.
