After obtaining my B.F.A. in visual communications, I went on to complete an M.A. in interaction design. It was there that I began exploring the interaction between technology and design.

These explorations examined what it meant to interface with the world, virtual and physical. We’re all fairly familiar with using screens to interact with digital content but there is more out there. As new technologies emerge or older ones become more accessible, there is a unique opportunity to redefine the next stage in interaction.
