Makerspace builder, innovation consultant, new media artist, educator. Manager of the Maker Hub, Georgetown University's makerspace. Former Founding and Senior Manager of the MediaLab at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Hi! I get up to all sorts of trouble, but in a nutshell I do
creative and help others do creative.
I'm the Founding Manager of the
Maker Hub at Georgetown University.
I was the Founding and Senior Manager of the
MediaLab at the Metropolitan
Museum of Art. In 2012 I was tasked with establishing a space for
experimentation at the intersection of art, technology, and the
museum experience. By working closely with NYC's creative
technology community, the MediaLab developed a worldwide
reputation for consistently delivering provocative, exciting, and
valuable projects.
Lessee, what else... I've traveled around the world, consulting
with museums, universities, governments, and religious
organizations on how to develop space for creativity and
innovation. I advise entrepreneurs and students on project
development. I serve as technical lead for cultural projects. I
help multimedia artists develop new works. I create digital art
systems and use them to perform my own compositions. I design and
create art objects using digital fabrication and vintage tech.
I like people, experiences, AND things.
Here's a better Bio for publication:
