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.
