Statement

An engineering graduate adept at quickly developing prototypes and implementing creative ideas. I see technology as my tool for designing interactions and altering people's behavior with a product. I am looking for learning opportunities in design with a special focus on sonic interaction design. I am interested in exploring alternate forms of musical expression and creating tools for musicians.
