As Production Lead at Night Kitchen Interactive, I have launched dozens of award-winning digital projects for museums, science centers, and cultural institutions across the country. I’m an experienced interactive technologist in the GLAM space who is passionate about enriching public learning spaces with meaningful digital interactions that connect visitors and inspire thoughtful, playful engagement. My hands-on design approach allows me to collaborate on projects in all stages, from early concepting to development and evaluation.
Ask me about
Immersive and 3D visualization: Unreal, Unity, Photogrammetry, Immersive media, fulldome, you name it.
My super power is
Sharing knowledge! I have a background in animation and visual effects with expertise in computer graphics, game production and interactive storytelling. I teach 3D modeling, digital media, game design, and animation courses at the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University, where I developed five original classes for the Virtual Reality and Immersive Media program. I serve as the founding Chair of the Philadelphia ACM SIGGRAPH Professional Chapter, an organization dedicated to exploring the crossroads of art and technology.
I'm looking for
Like minds to discuss new media trends, exhibit designers seeking digital partners, and museums looking to play
What I love about experience design
I love working with museums, the ideal nexus of learning, dialogue, and play.
Best piece of advice I've ever heard
Fail fast! I’m a huge proponent of getting prototypes in front of real audiences early in the design/development process.
