About Me

Practicing between art and product, I make tools and experiences for humans. Some of that has been large-scale: over a decade building infrastructure and leading digital product at a world-class art gallery. Some of it is smaller and stranger: games, prototypes, scripts that do things to images. An MFA in Digital Media from RISD runs underneath all of it. I'm no engineer, but I enjoy building things with code.

Open to conversations about work, collaboration, or whatever you're making:
