I'm an artist and engineer based in Aotearoa New Zealand. My latest project is ThriveCam, a camera app for interacting with what I rather brazenly refer to as digital wildlife.

Over the last couple decades I've worked as a fashion model, a visual effects artist, a web developer, and as a system architect and engineering manager as the CTO at the now sadly defunct GNARBOX. Somewhere in there I managed to get a Bachelors of Music in Composition from the New Zealand School of Music — Te Kōkī.

In 2011 I started experimenting with feedback algorithms and was awed by the complex forms and behaviors that iterative systems can manifest, providing glimpses of a seemingly infinite well of life-ishness that exists within mathematics itself.

Since those initial experiments began, I have been developing and applying feedback techniques to create apps, apparel, VR experiences, and digital works of art, and I have come to see life as flourishing well beyond the confines of organic matter — I see living organisms in languages, in organizations, in economic structures, in the evolution and propagation of thoughts and concepts, everywhere! My mind is as full of life as the lushest jungle, and my goal is to use my attention and energy to help evolve healthy, thriving ecosystems in myself, my relationships, my communities, and the whole world over.
