It me! Building on an immersive memory app called Vivid. (Looking for a technical cofounder too 👀.)

In my off time I'm thinking about impossible spaces (e.g. House of Leaves). Previously led a team of fellow designer-developers at Samsung, working to make spatial computing more human.

I'm open to

advising companies,

beta testing new products,

brainstorming,

speaking at events,

and freelance roles.
