I learned to play guitar in recent years, and wrote a tool to help me understand how scales land on the fretboard, no matter what tuning I’m in.
I used this to compose the first three tracks on this EP.

I made a polling app called A/B. It lets people ask open ended questions with an A or B answer:
Which job should I take? Where should I live next? Which dress suits me?
In A/B, consumers get 2nd opinions about decisions they might make, and the system gets interest data on things like products and places. The app was a finalist in the FastCoLabs & Target Retail Accelerator in 2013.

I plotted my design career on two axes: happiness on the vertical, length of engagement on the horizontal. According to the data, I was happiest working on independent ventures and medium-term freelance opportunities that let me operate freely.

I was once a research fellow at MIT, where I worked with data scientists to investigate people patterns in cities, using geo-tagged flickr photos as a data source. I wrote custom dataviz tools to find patterns.
One output of this work was an exhibition of tourism patterns in Spain.

An art installation that uses the language of video games to let one wander through a 3D labyrinth constructed from one's own scanned fingerprint. Exhibited at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in 2003, Pond Gallery in 2004, and on the KQED television show, Spark, in 2004.
