About Me
A designer and artist focusing on experiential and design technology.
I have a professional background in events production and design, and a deep knowledge of a wide array of digital and real world fabrication methods, including but not limited to prosthetics, sculpture, and architecture.
My specialty is an untraditional user experience and creative direction. I am passionate in how humans interact with design technology, learn from tech, and how tech can effectively interact with us. The focus for my professional life is on the future and the cutting edge of technology. I’m excited to see how we can utilize this tech to create a more interesting and joyful place.
