I’ve created since I was a small child, obsessed with symmetry, art, building, and music. I learned about physics by building small pinball machines from shoeboxes, experienced the power of origami as I made shape-shifting toys and sculptures from notebook paper, and took my first programming class when I was 6. I drew portraits of the family with charcoal from our wood-burning stove.  As school went on I gravitated to mathematics and jazz piano, eventually majoring in music composition and technology - but with my final recital including a reception filled with my abstract paintings.  It was also in college that I discovered that my synesthesia - numbers have always had colors and textures in my mind - was something that not all people experience.

Simultaneously, my career has flourished around analytics.  Spreadsheets are a trip through a colorful landscape, and engineering problems are just extensions of the logic puzzles I loved as a child.  This time immersed in data and has provided a nuanced perspective on how data impacts our experiences, lives, and society today, and spawned side projects related to this modern reality.
