About
I’m a hands-on, director-level creative technologist. I love designing and building prototype-driven creative experiences and innovations, working with new technologies.
I’m particularly proud of working on projects such as Netflix Seoul DOOH Takeover (oF, OpenCV, YOLO), Shiseido Beyond Time (oF, Arduino, light & glass animation), Nike+ Apple Watch app (iOS WatchKit), Fossil Q Smartwatch (iOS, BLE), Nike Trial Zone Connected Games (Processing, BLE), Nike Fuelband v1.0 (iOS, prototype), and various prototypes to validate user experience (Couple’s task sharing app on Google Home for WomenWill, Nike+ Running on Google Glass, etc.)
I’m also a big believer in mentoring women in technology and engineering roles, and a vocal champion for the importance of STEM subjects amongst young women.
