Sharing knowledge is a crucial aspect of my work. Having gained much of my expertise from others, I strive to pay it forward whenever possible.  To that end, I regularly offer workshops, intensives, and formal teaching opportunities. I am always happy to discuss projects and troubleshoot technical challenges.

If you have any questions or would like to learn more, please feel free to reach out to me.

• ARCH 680.07 -  Digital Systems and Responsive Environment Design:
  Harnessing the Digital to Enhance the Real
  
  This course will challenge us to imagine how digital systems can be designed to facilitate human interaction within the built environment. Can digital systems be designed to catalyze connections, conversations and individual empowerment in a virtually augmented (or virtual) world? We will approach inquiry through an artistic and technical lens. Together we will research and conceptualize the ways technology can enhance the senses. We will explore the potential of data, auditory, visual and kinetic based media to foster interactions between humanity and its environment. 
  
  In particular we will look at projection mapping, augmented reality, real-time reactive environments, gaming platforms, multi-channel audio, sensors and computer vision systems. Understanding the fundamentals of how interactive systems operate is necessary to build responsive infrastructures that benefit their users. To address this, we will gain a working knowledge of TouchDesigner, a popular visual programming language used by designers and artists to bring digital data and media into the real world.
