About Me

I am interested in systems people interact with.

I live for loopholes. I make work about accessibility, constraint, neurodivergence, isolation, absurdity, and the ways people adapt when the world was not designed for their particular existence in mind.

My company

Florida Man Studio
A creative studio I run on the side, launching whatever project needs building next: games, tools, community initiatives. Part of it is helping people in my community, and underrepresented or struggling populations, get access to things they need. Part of it is just for fun, we sell meme t-shirts sometimes.

Off the clock

  • Mentored Unreal Engine developers at GameReady for two years.
  • Lived and taught English in Japan on a few occasions; Summer 2015 & Spring 2017.
  • Neurodivergent, and the way I interact with my world makes it painfully obvious so.
  • I participate in my local Shy & Neurodivergent Adult meetups within Sarasota.
  • Member of the Da Capo Society, Sarasota Opera’s social group for young professionals, and Chair of the Board of Directors for the Sarasota Opera Guild.
