Résumé

Personal Interests / Goals

My workplace goal is to expand my knowledge while applying what I know from other spheres in order to come up with the most creative solution. Current personal work includes interactive sound design using PureData, a group of large scale paintings based on calligraphy in an original language, and the fourth in a series of chamber works for small orchestra.

Work Process / Philosophy

Creative Problem Solving

using the Osborn-Parnes model in order to identify problems and come up with the most creative solution

Prototyping

sketching, wire-framing, process diagramming, and creating previews in order to simplify the jump from ideas to implementation

Collaborating

thoughtfully synthesizing different and contradictory goals while working with others, other teams, and other entities

Multi-disciplinary Approach

bridging the gap between visual art and coding, keeping in mind what can give and what is absolutely necessary

Versioning

maintaining major changes and branches for project and file versions using content versioning whenever possible

Analysis

using data-based insights to determine behavior patterns which then fuel future phases of design iteration
