Digital arts for end-users: learning from traditional craft practice

Traditional physical art mediums can be a great source of design insights for end-user digital media authoring tools. My PhD work exemplifies how an in-depth understanding of real-life workflow and artifacts aids the design and development of SandCanvas (a digital art medium for sand animation) and Vignette (a style preserving sketching tool for pen-and-ink illustration).
