Interaction Design • Installation Art • New Interfaces for Musical Expression

Through my studies at the University of Michigan I became interested in physical computing, human computer interaction (HCI), and installation art. I have prototyped and designed various new interfaces for creating music and working with media, as well as produced interactive installations and immersive experiences. Projects have included work with haptics (tactile feedback), motion capture technologies and light sensors.
