With nearly 30 years of proven success in building and integrating advanced academic programs in digital art and design, I am launching a consulting business dedicated to guiding educational institutions and creative organizations through transformative change. Drawing on decades of trusted experience, I have developed university programs that seamlessly merge studio art with cutting-edge digital techniques—from individual courses to entire degree programs—helping institutions move confidently into the future.
As the author of the first book on the Processing language and two additional publications, I have been a pioneer in establishing coding as a valid creative medium in art and design schools worldwide. My innovative pedagogical approaches have also influenced computer science departments, introducing new ways to teach and inspire.
With my work at Emergent Properties—the first blockchain company to introduce long-form generative AI—and the groundbreaking project The Oracles, I have paved the way for new frontiers in creative technology. Additionally, I created the first graduate degree in Creative Technology, combining design theory, coding literacy, and Web3-based creative technology.
Now, I am eager to bring this wealth of experience to your institution or organization. Let me help you navigate the future of art, design, and technology by providing trusted change management strategies tailored to your needs. Together, we can create more opportunities for your students and stakeholders, enriching your programs and positioning you at the forefront of innovation.
