My past educational background in architecture provided a broad exposure to many interdisciplinary topics. While studying architecture my main focuses developed around global culture and the impacts technology have made in the built environment. Both digital and hand fabrication techniques were employed to explore these interests in differing ways. I also worked as a student web developer, where I worked on various tools for faculty and students on mobile platforms.
Both of these opportunities have brought my focus to investigating communication with dynamic environments, in which our experiences become energized 2- way conversations involving objects and people alike. I hope to fully explore environments that can raise as many questions as they resolve.
