“Make digital experiences that teach real lessons”
 
My education and career has been a pursuit of this personal mantra to the best of my abilities. I can’t covey how excited I am to be working in Mix Reality. Here are some of the ways I have applied my skills:
 
Teaching children math via mobile games
Teaching programming though play on XBOX
Teaching Social workers how to spot signs of child abuse in VR
 
I graduated from Academy of Art University in San Francisco with a degree in game design while sneaking into CAL to take programming classes off the books (sorry Berkeley alums.)
I believe anyone can be part of a design process, to that end…
What do you think we should teach people in Mixed Reality? I’d love to know, lets explore together
