Welcome to my website: I hope that it provides an interesting introduction to work and projects I have been involved with over the past few years. Whether using tactile or virtual media, I take pride in the craft of making. I enjoy expressing ideas in many different ways, often primarily visually. I also get satisfaction in creating tools to assist others in communicating their ideas. Much of the work I do is involved with information in translation - from digital to physical or through a numerical / optical lens.
