About me
I am a Freelance digital Artist specializing in VR, AR and interactive digital media. I've worked with contemporary at museums and independent design companies to create VR and AR experiences and participatory technology. As a new media artist, I develop ways to use virtual spaces as alternative platforms for visual narratives. I'm interested in developing the use of creative technology in Museums, using virtual platforms as tools for furthering accessibility and inclusion for artists, collections and patrons.
Projects

    Taxonomy ARAn Augmented Reality piece imagining invisible digital matter in a visible form. Created with Unity, Zbrush, Maya and Subtance Painter.
  • Wellness VR Forest
    Wellness VR ForestI was commissioned by 'Visual", a Minneapolis based VR company, to create a 3D rendered VR video for seniors in a retirement facility. The piece was created as a wellness and relaxation tool and proved to be highly effective as a short-term mental health aid, particularly for those experiencing the effects of Alzheimer's and Dementia. The VR piece was created using Maya and Unity. Click and drag YouTube video for 360.
