About Me
Imaginative storytelling is a central feature of human communication.
Stories have always motivated me to connect ideas and build real experiences. Technologies like neural sensing, AI, deep learning, haptics, display optics, and robotics are tools that can help creative ideas to paint a believable picture.
I excel at merging ideas and technologies in new ways and finding solutions to execute them. I'm at my best managing teams dedicated to prototyping and building extraordinary experiences for large integrated product initiatives in next gen platforms. As an artist, innovator and storyteller, and I want to help people tap into the potential of their own imaginations and foster unique, shareable story experiences.
