I’m currently a Master’s student at the Interactive Telecommunications Program at NYU. My interests revolve around programming language “archeologies”, interaction design, and speculative design.
Before attending ITP, I spent two years learning traditional wooden boatbuilding in Rhode Island. Along with two other colleagues, I built (from scratch - molds) and launched a 14’ wooden BeetleCat. I also led a major refit of a 1962 fiberglass ketch, which included machining and reglassing chainplates, as well as recoring and re-instrumenting. I am also certified as a Yachmaster Offshore captain.
Prior to the boatbuilding experience, I took part in a batch of The Recurse Center - a renown coding residency in New York City. While at RC, I developed a series of Domain Specific Languages, and created my own hand-rolled build systems for small sites and blogs.
Most of my career was spent as a creative director for companies in Europe and the Middle East. I specialized in interactive installations, and in general acted as a “creative technologist” before the title became common. Mostly it meant hacking things together so they looked like magic - I thoroughly enjoyed this. I was also a partner at Bede-Fazekas & Kozak, a small creative consulting office operating out of Budapest from 2016-2018.
I’ve also led an arts practice since I graduated New York University Abu Dhabi, where I double-majored in Film & Theatre. I worked heavily in performance and installation. While I haven’t made this type of work for a while, most of this portfolio is reflective of that era.
