About

I love thinking about the systems we have developed to express ourselves within communal networks. I'm interested in leveraging music, language, and computation to create tools that facilitate creativity and meaningful connections.

My roles have included Concertmaster of the Santa Fe Youth Symphony, Lead Developer of the ARemember Mixed Reality Research Group at UCSB SRA, and Resident Artist at Meow Wolf Santa Fe. I love collaborating and researching in new areas, from interactive Augmented Reality experiences to reflective filmmaking.
