Who am I?
Born in Calgary under the big prairie skies and crisp Albertan winters. At 12, it was off to Vancouver where mountain meets ocean, and it rains just enough to keep everything green. A multi-disciplinary design graduate of SFU’s School of Interactive Arts and Technology, specializing in the sweet spot between art and tech. With a degree and one-way ticket in hand, it was off to Japan to put it all to use and test what I could really do.
Life has made me both an eager learner and teacher. I am curious to see how others experience the world to find where design and technology can help make the connection to those experiences even better.
What do I like?
I love nature. Quietly observing through photography, collecting moss, finding creatures, or suffering it's challenges, adventuring and exploring. I love technology. Experiencing new interactions and the unimaginable. I love craft. The creative process of ideation, application, and iteration.I want to make things work better for people so they may more easily find joy in the things that they do.
Wherever and whatever they may be.
Why Design?
The experiences we have observing and interacting with the people and environments around us are full of so many meaningful insights. Design provides a framework and tools to find them. I want to use these insights to improve our experiences of the world in all of the ways they can happen.
How have I applied it all?
From teaching children tech literacy and digital art, to designing interfaces for the cutting edge medical technologies helping physicians understand and diagnose neurological diseases. Here are a few of the places I've used and hones my skills and abilities.
