I am a technical artist and HCI researcher graduating with a degree in computer science from Georgia Tech. I develop expressive systems inspired by the pursuit of artistic flow. I believe that our ability to experience sustained, embodied immersion is the most beautiful aspect of the human experience.
I have had the pleasure of working at Pixar Animation Studios, Lucasfilm and The University of Tokyo. My research has been generously supported by the Stamps President's Scholarship and the NSF-IRES program.
I express gratitude for the village of mentors who have shaped my path thus far: Takeo Igarashi, Maria Larsson, Doğa Doğan, Alyssa Minko, Michael Frederickson, Steve Biegun and Cassandra Monden among many others
I also like to bike and nap in the sun
