We explored the use of cinematic “pre-visualization” (previs) techniques as a rapid ideation and design futuring method for human computer interaction (HCI) research. Over the summer, I designed and lead eight week-long design futuring sprints with different researchers across various HCI and computer science domains to produce short animated concepts envisioning the future of their research. After reflecting on our experiences in the sprints, we developed a One Week Futuring Workbook to support other Research-Designer teams in their futuring endeavours.

Over Platform Calgary's 4 month student entrepreneurship program I developed Beat Bop, a company dedicated to empowering musicians with intelligent creative apps for audio sampling. The art of using samples of other songs to create new ones is an increasingly popular technique that music producers use today, but it can often take hours to isolate the individual pieces of these songs for sampling use. The company's flagship product, Stemify, looked to recent advancements in machine learning to tackle the challenge of separating individual instruments out from a provided source track in mere seconds.
