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.
I am an eager learner, and teacher, curious to see how others experience the world and discover where design and technology can help make those experiences even better.
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 strive 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.
Observing and interacting with the people and environments around us are full of many meaningful insights that go unnoticed. Design is a framework with tools to discover them, in turn improving our experiences of the world in the multitudes of ways they happen.
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.
