I am a technologist, an interactive art director, and a producer. I focus on helping to conceive of and create projects that combine emotion and technology to make stories and ideas more meaningful and entertaining.
I have teamed up with brands such as SBC, Truvia, Microsoft, and District Clothing, as well as non-profits like The Gates Foundation, NWFF, and Teachers Without Borders. I love finding creative and interesting ways to solve problems.
I have US, Canadian, and Swiss passports and can legally work in North America and Europe. When I'm not working on client work, I make lamps, ride bikes, and dream up projects to confuse and excite people.
