[12/13/2024]
I’m a multi-disciplinary creative designer and an Extended Reality (XR) Environment Artist at the University of Michigan's Center for Academic Innovation. In this role, I collaborate with an incredible team to bring digital environments and set designs to life through our in-house LED studio, augmented reality apps, and virtual reality modules.
Throughout my zany, multi-industry career, I've explored design across architecture, theme park lands, product design, journal essays, experimental media, educational curricula, and virtual production environments. I’m passionate about crafting clever solutions to design challenges, embracing imaginative and fun processes to push boundaries and inspire those around me.
Feel free to reach out—I’m always excited to connect with creative and curious minds!
