About Me
I am an interactive audio visual artist and developer, who creates immersive and engaging experiences. I use Touchdesigner and Unreal engine, to combine any types of input device or sensor, with any output hardware or media, to achieve the desired product. I have a background in computer science, digital media, and music production, and love to combine elements of all these fields into engaging, captivating experiences.
I am a problem solver who can work independently and collaboratively alongside clients, who can take ideas through experimentation, prototyping, to deliver completed installations.
