My life experience has provided me with the range of skills I need to meet the demands of teaching game research and development, mobile application development and web development. I have worked for the past twenty-five years as an instructor of Web, mobile and game research and development – and as an entrepreneur, designer and coder who has founded two interactive development firms in the San Francisco Bay Area. Before joining the faculty at Santa Rosa Junior College, I taught Web and mobile design and coding, as well as game research and development in a graduate design school from 2001 to 2016.
I have been Managing Principal and Senior Engineer at Braindunk since 2013. I brought my two decades of interactive development experience together and formed Braindunk’s unique team of new media creators, social scientists, artists, writers, and makers. With Braindunk, I have worked to fulfill my lifelong dream of working on social and environmental justice, while crafting “interactive environments” that empower, engage and energize people, encouraging creative expression and learning. Braindunk’s initiatives include innovative educational services for teaching kids to code, and development of games and mobile collaboration tools for creating stories about the natural world around us.
I have written books for Adobe Press, Peachpit Press, and Pearson Education, presented at numerous conferences including MacWorld, and have recently wrapped up work on a new site for the Timberland Regional Library in Washington.
I was a Founder and Managing Principal of Mediatrope Interactive Studio, from 1996 until 2013. In 1996, Mediatrope launched the world’s first online presentation of art museum collections for the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco (FAMSF), including the DeYoung and Legion of Honor museums. The following year (1997), Mediatrope empowered FAMSF to become the first art museum website to offer crowd-sourced descriptions of their collections objects. By 2004, Mediatrope was well on its way to becoming a specialist in online museum collections, games, and in-gallery interactive experiences. At the end of 2004, we launched the largest-yet art collections site in the world for the MFA Boston, comprising 350,000 objects and including the ability for website visitors to create their own galleries of objects online. Mediatrope was the publisher of the Sitebots content management system and the MuseumCentric e- commerce platform, as well as games and interactives for LVMH, HP, and the Smithsonian amongst others.
In my academic life, I have studied and practiced the history of art and visual culture, material culture, historiography, as well as architectural design and history. I was a student teacher during my undergraduate days at U.C. Santa Cruz, where I had the good fortune to study under a group of extraordinary thinkers that included Hayden White, Victor Burgin, Jasper Rose, and Reyner Banham. I was inspired by the History of Consciousness program led by Hayden White to expand my research and writing beyond the traditional domains of art history to include video, aesthetics of interactivity, computational media, material culture and the built environment. Burgin, Rose, and Banham each provided examples of creative practice married to historical research. After I completed my undergraduate studies, I pursued a three-year degree in architectural design and history at U.C. Berkeley. I found new inspiration at Cal from mentors that included Sim van der Ryn, Paul Groth, Nezar AlSayyad, and Dell Upton. I found patterns of practice from van der Ryn and AlSayyad that integrated research and history into the activities of design. I have carried those lessons into my own creative practice, whether in the built environment or computational media. Upton and Groth offered me opportunities to hone my own methods of historical research, giving me tools from the study of material culture and the cultural landscape. I am especially grateful to Paul Groth, who taught me how diverse methods and practices of research can be, and gave me the opportunity as a graduate student instructor to discover that teaching and research had to be a part of my life. I am pleased to say that my journey as a creator and historian has taken me here to Santa Rosa Junior College, where I feel blessed to have the opportunity to mentor curious and creative individuals.
