  I’m in this class because physical computing was my weakness coming into this semester. I see the importance of this skill, especially moving into the future, and want to become better at it.

  My favorite childhood toy was an large empty cardboard box that I could make into a space ship, house, sports stadium, club house etc.

  From Los Angeles, CA, I have worked in PR/Marketing for theater and costume design for television and film.   Im here at Parsons to study interactivity — namely (at least this week) for exhibit design.

  I’m in this class as I wanted to learn more about user interactivity hardware (arduino and improve coding skills) – aside of the other studios.

  My favorite childhood toy was the ViewMaster.  To this day I still incorporate its look and operations into my websites and work.
