About Me

Immersion. Interaction. Installation.

My passion is to combine my technology skills with my love of entertainment to create new compelling experiences by bringing state-of-the-art technology to top-of-the-line themed entertainment attractions. A seamless immersive environment should surround you and engage all of your senses, using every possible opportunity to reinforce the experience. To that end, I have endeavored to master the ability to take disparate technologies and make them function together to do things far outside their original design. But the technology is only as good as the creative visions that it can bring to life. I have years of experience working side-by-side with the best creative designers and artists, starting with their wildest ideas and finding a way to turn them into reality.

The next step is making the world react to the guest. With innovative technology and a bit of outside-the-box thinking, I like to create interactive experiences where the guests' dreams can come true. With a strong focus on guest experience through testing, I strive to design novel but intuitive interactions that are natural and fun.

Last is the practical. Usability doesn't stop at the guest. I place a strong emphasis on building software and hardware that is easy to operate, stable, and reliable. This includes simple control interfaces, professional installation and documentation.
