I suppose my career began when I drew my first picture on the computer using the Paintbrush application when I was 12 years old.
In high school I started creating web pages, 3D computer models and Flash animations. I continued these practices and studied drawing, painting, design, fabrication, and programming in college.
Now in graduate school, I am still doing all of these things and learning to think critically about what it means to practice multiple disciplines.
