Summary
I have spent the few years of my career as a concept artist developing interactive virtual environments and simulations. I have collaborated with professionals in diverse interdisciplinary teams. Working with these Biologists, Computer Scientists and other Artists has been an extremely rewarding experience. Through these relationships, I have been fortunate to lead a team of talented undergraduates and graduate students on several projects that were focused on integrating evolutionary models into video games. I am passionate about art, and endlessly curious about it's interaction with science and culture.
