I've been exploring the expression of creativity using technology since I was a child, when I coded my first website in the late 90s, which included obnoxious animated flaming text for titles. Little did I know this little site I so proudly talked about at show and tell would spark an over decade long career in web development later in my life.

Lately I've been craving a transition into more tangible work and I am currently exploring the intersection of digital and physical creations, currently focusing on web based mixed reality projects.
