ABOUT

I create meaningful experiences by merging art and technology.

I enjoy both designing and building dynamic environments that facilitate connection and encourage a sense of play. I am a creative technology generalist with a specialization in TouchDesigner programming.

I participate in every part of the project pipeline from initial strategy and creative concepting through final testing and installation. I consult with account leads, program management, and strategic planning teams to uncover information about a product or service to determine the right digital activations and pricing estimations for each project. I manage internal and external partners to bring ideas to life by supervising technical production.
