Process and movement in the largest sense have infused all my work.
As an anthropologist, I analyzed migrations and language borrowing. As
a photographer, I capture single gestures and a larger creative process.
As a creative producer, I transition ideas from seedlings to fruition.
I've spent equal parts of my life in France and in the United States, where I was born and have returned to discover a new coast in Berkeley, California.
The details: I received my B.A. at Amherst College and M.A. at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in Paris. While completing PhD research, I jumped into game design at the Centre Pompidou Children’s Workshop and joined multimedia pioneers at Voyager to forge their Paris office. I freelanced and taught interactive media at the Université de Paris-8 then became a content designer, project manager and creative director at Virtools, publishers of software for real-time interactive 3D.
I have consistently nurtured my professional experiences with personal artistic work that merges theory and practice, ranging from multidisciplinary collaborations with choreographers and visual artists, to interactive and photographic installations.
