My journey began in a compact, off-campus lab I called the Ice House Innovation Space, where I served as Inventor-in-Residence, creating the early models and prototypes in my Case Studies. The university named the facility JMU X‑Labs, then moved it to a purpose-built complex at Lakeview Hall on their main campus. In an expanded role, I launched the Concept Visualization Studio, where I mentored students and led faculty seminars in software prototyping, interface gamification and interaction design. At the height of X‑Labs' popularity, I was transfered to an NMR Facility at the East Campus Physics & Chemistry Building, where I designed and developed ChemSim‑VR. Conditions there were ideal for prototyping educational software, with faculty providing subject-matter expertise and students supplying end-user feedback. This promotional poster encouraged everyone at James Madison University to visit the original Innovation Space at the Ice House Building in downtown Harrisonburg.
