Based in NYC, I am a director, developer, artist working at the intersection of technology and storytelling. My interests include computer graphics, web development and immersive experience development in virtual, augmented and mixed realities.
I started my career as a sound designer and musician. After working in audio post-production for a few years I attended Tel Aviv University film school and started coding, designing and releasing interactive storytelling driven experiences.
Upon graduation, I co-founded Phenomena Labs an award-winning visual effect and interaction design studio. I worked as a creative and technical director designing, developing and executing interactive experiences. I am a graduate of the Tisch School of the Arts, New York University. Currently, I am the Principle Creative Technologist at Vimeo Labs and Co-Founder at Volume.
I am an advanced coffee drinker, cat aficionado, hobbyist musician. I am passionate about cinematography and open source software.
