I deliver large scale interactive experiences, specializing in the cultural and technology sector. My responsibilities include creating and managing budgets, time lines, processes, specking technology, building prototypes, installations. As well as managing contractors and agencies, reviewing RFCs, and writing briefs. I’ve been instrumental in elevating design systems across the company and implementing efficient team strategies. My contributions span from concept to pitch, design, prototyping, production, and installation. In my wok I utilize cutting-edge technologies such as VR environments in Unreal Engine 5 for concept selling, for notable clients like the Ministry of Tourism for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the 11th Hour Ocean Race experience, and Expo 2020. A key project under my leadership is for the House of Sustainability in the UAE, involved the integration of AI technology. This project entailed developing a sophisticated workflow with voice to text user interaction, leveraging large language models for analysis, and progressing to text-to-image creation, all executed locally and efficiently showcased via OpenGL graphics.

Fully engaged with the bleeding edge of technology, in my role I did RnD for new software libraries and programs. I became the pivotal team member who determined what was technically feasible, first on a theoretical level and then pragmatically within project constraints. A significant contribution was to Toyota’s Concept-i, where I collaborated with art directors and designers to craft an experience of an advanced AI system embodied in a car in the near future. This led to the development of Tellart’s “Experience Engine,” a complex stack of custom software and hardware designed for experience orchestration. The core of this system was a Node.js server, seamlessly integrating with Arduinos, speakers, projectors, and mapping software.

I mentored and gave a series of workshops on Touchdesigner and served as a guest critic for the Minor Immersive Environments Program at Hogeschool van Amsterdam, sharing my expertise and encouraging innovative thinking in immersive technologies.

I taught and mentored for web development at a bootcamp focused on equipping refugees with practical skills. The coursework centered around Node.js and MySQL, aiming to provide a strong foundation in web technologies.

My journey at Tellart began as a Junior Designer and Technologist, where I conducted strategic workshops with major entities like Otis Elevator, Marriot, Carrier, and Pratt & Whitney. My role involved applying user research strategies and leading creative workshop to spur product innovation, rooted in a solid understanding of design thinking methodologies. My approach focused on empathetic user engagement and creative problem-solving, essential for uncovering new insights and fostering innovative solutions.

I joined full time the design team and helped create award winning exhibition around the US.

I joined Tellart fresh out of school. My responsibilities involved prototyping and sketching interactive user experiences.
