The Blackburn Group has been formed to provide platforms for Patrick Blackburn's numerous companies and projects. "In today's world everything is much more porous. It's possible now to work in a new landscape that is visual, musical; textural if you like."As clients of Blackburn are aware, besides being an award winning artist/musician his expertise in UXD, Design Thinking, and Information Architecture have him highly sought after to help everyone from small and medium size, to Fortune 500 companies with their online and offline presence.His ability to see the future of the state of technologies and how to incorporate them in his pursuits and projects have proven invaluable to all his clients. "There is a common thread that runs through all my work; the principles involved in a commissioned generative sound installation really don't differ than the processes involved helping a client with creating a user-friendly web site. Creativity and Design Thinking are so interlaced together, I find that all my projects are linked relevantly rather than pulling me in tangential directions."In addition, the forming of the Blackburn Group allows for the joint partnerships with other companies that will mean greater research and development avenues to respond to the rapidly changing technological and cultural environments.In the very near future, all the companies belonging to the new Blackburn Group will be accessible by the public
