Having always had an intrinsic love for human interaction psychology and technology I began pursuing a B.S. in psychology and a B.A. in communication with a focus in mediated communication and technology at The University of Illinois. It was here that I was able to begin gaining expert knowledge of creative programs, such as the Adobe Creative Suite, while simultaneously developing an understanding of the human mind and the neurological processes that underlie perception and sensory functionality.
Currently, I am concluding my MA in Design: Expanded Practice at Goldsmiths, University of London whereby I dedicated my studies to understanding more about immersive technologies and their abilities to create more stimulating and powerful consumer experiences. My MA program has afforded me the ability to work more hands on with immersive technologies, primarily AR, VR and digital interaction design including mobile app development and prototyping.
I am eager to continue developing my skillset in the field of 3D animation in relation to VR, AR, and MR experiences. This is a field with almost infinite room for innovation and development and I look forward to being one of the early adopters to set the pace for how these fairly new technologies can (re)shape our society.
