Brooklyn, Ny

I am available for work as an independent contractor, primarily working with interactive design studios in the Brooklyn area. My favorite collaborators are the folks over at HUSH, and together we have worked on many projects over the years. I am proud to have led the design and development of many projects including work for clients such as HBOMax, Meta/Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, United Therapeutics, Veritas, Okta, and Google. Installations include projection rooms, large format LED walls, and low-res LED sculptural lighting elements. Interactions range from standard touch surfaces to novel skeletal tracking, LiDAR, voice control, custom object tracking, and hand tracking.

Working as a Senior Creative Technologist encompasses many more traditional roles. My tasks often spanned UI/UX Designer, Animator, and Software Engineer. Worked on a long-term client project for Facebook, creating a suite of interactive installations in their Partner Centers at offices around the world.

Hired as one of the inaugural group of “Artists in Residences”, though more accurately just working as a designer and art director. Within a year, I was hired into the new Design Team within the agency, working with varied responsibilities, starting as the lead interactive and motion designer, then Creative Technologist. Work ranged from concepting ad campaigns and interactive executions, to developing prototypes, brand identities, storyboarding, production design, and motion graphics for film and web. Client brands included Webbys, IBM, Coca Cola, IKEA, UPS, AmEx, Philips, Blackrock, DuPont, NASCAR, and Scrubbing Bubbles.
