Experience
My experience comes from a background in architecture and industrial design. I am well versed in sketching and representational arts, as well as hand based and digital fabrication techniques. Over the course of the past year I have been studying responsive technologies, including programming and DIY electronics.

Why
I am interested in the bridge between the physical and digital and how this can be altered. It is my intention to learn more about interaction design and tangible interfaces, with the goal of mediating this divide.
