About me:

Career:

I have spent my career exploring the spaces where technology + creativity intersect.


My professional meandering has taken me on an amazing journey, exploring a range of creative digital media applications- from Mission Simulation + Instrument Modeling at NASA-JPL to VFX on Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. More recently, I have been designing cybersecurity applications at Deloitte and teaching in the Game Program at Champlain College.


As an artist, I similarly leverage a range of media to explore ideas around gender and identity, both personal and collective.


Sometimes, I even take time away from screens to deliberately slow down and explore ideas in more traditional formats. Yes, that was me on Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year.


I love what I do- the full range of it- and remain eminently curious about the creative opportunities offered by advances in technology.
