About

What type of work I do?

1. Creating custom interactive experiences, animations, games, tools, visuals and websites.
2. Giving classes and workshops on programming, creative coding and interactive art.
3. The other things that an interaction designer ends up doing.
4. Writing, playing and cheating death.
5. Finding meaning in this sea of and noise.
6. Can it be done with a computer? Then I can do it. Probably. Maybe. At some point.

Why?

I like problems with no clear solution and I like to use art and design to approach them. Doing this is an endless source of joy and discovery.

In the digital realm we can create whatever we want. What to do then? That’s the real challenge: to find what is needed, wanted and meaningful, to understand what makes us feel alive and engaged.

Such reflections are the main drive of my practice… as well as keeping things fun.

And perhaps, if we would look at the deeper meaning of “fun”, we could see that alive, meaningful and fun are all sides of the same hyperdimensional coin. And to be an artist or a designer is to enjoy flipping the hyperdimensional coins we encounter.

But sometimes it’s just about the colorful blinking lights.
