What I'm looking for

I'm looking to create flexible, immersive real-time visual systems for musical artists, brands, agencies, and production companies—from concept and systems design through live, on-site execution.

I build generative visual systems that turn music and ideas into immersive, real-time experiences. For Rival Consoles’ 2026 North American Live A/V Tour, I created and performed a TouchDesigner-based system across six cities, culminating in a headline set at MUTEK Montreal.

At dadageek, I lead VJ and visual-design work for live events including QUADRANT and Bee Cave Buzzfest, using TouchDesigner, Unreal Engine, and Resolume. I also bring experience in technical production, previsualization, marketing, and on-site event execution for agencies, production companies, and brands.
