Working at the intersection of imagination, digital media & human experience.
As an educator, creator, researcher, organizer & producer my work is focused on developing meaningful experiences for audiences, learners & dreamers.
The range of my creative, teaching and research practice spans augmented reality, virtual reality, location-aware media, documentary, improvised and electronic music, and it asks what it means to listen, to remember, and to be present in places both physical and virtual.
My work has been presented internationally at media festivals and academic conferences in Norway, Portugal, Italy, U.S., Canada, Ireland and Brazil.
As professor and course director for undergraduate university courses over the past several years I have taught: The Art & Craft of Audio Storytelling; Making Media; Exploring XR; Cross-platform Storytelling; Fourth-Year Thesis Media Projects Supervision; Research Methods for Digital Media; Narrative Strategies; and Introduction to Interactive Communications.
