They said doctor or mortician, but instead I became an artist making clothes in the ether because it's all about experiencing the journey in the middle. Similarly, discussions about Web3 demonstrate a pervasive disconnect regarding user adoption. Nobody is going to want to dive into tech they can't feel good in, and I want to change that.
A decade ago, I established a digital fashion brand in OG VR, gaining firsthand experience with the challenges and opportunities of XR commerce. I believe virtual spaces can be sandboxes for self-discovery, and digital fashion plays a critical role in crafting the deeply personal immersion necessary for user adoption.
Currently I'm exploring new tech stacks that appeal to a broader audience and have the potential to bridge the gap between extended experiences and what people are willing to embrace. While I am waiting for AI to do all of my UV unwrapping for me, I'm delving into Machine Learning to better understand and push the boundaries of platform constraints without losing what makes art human.
According to my corporate zodiac* I'm a lifelong learner, an ideator, and a wildly creative problem solver. I have a passion for deeply understanding user experiences, then translating those insights into clear and actionable strategies.
