I am a Full Stack Virtual Reality Artist, designer and developer. Cofounder of ARVR Academy, a nonprofit dedicated to providing education and open source teaching materials to communities that are under represented in the tech industry, specifically focusing on the Augmented and Virtual Reality industries. I am also a course developer at Udacity, teaching 360 Storytelling and Immersive media as part of the Virtual Reality Nanodegree. Mentor to Boost VR companies, and highly active in the Indie VR community.

In the past, I was creative director for a mobile health and fitness game. Sadly, that game wasn't Pokemon go, but it was still fun anyway.

Things I care about -

Diversity. Ethics. Privacy. The potential of VR to change the world for the better. Helping others find their voice as a VR creator. Social Harassment solutions.
