I am a scientist, film producer, & wildlife photographer interested in the impact of immersive worlds on human behavior.
I'm currently the Chief Technology Officer at Krikey, a mobile AR gaming app that I co-founded with my sister.
I received my BA, MA, and PhD at the Stanford Virtual Human Interaction Lab, and have previously worked at Google [x] and Facebook's Oculus VR. I was recently selected for the Forbes 30 Under 30 2020 Class in the Gaming category.
Here are some of the places I've spoken at on my research & the future of AR.

Hollywood Reporter: Gorillas! Launch
“Of their first venture into AR, DeGeneres and de Rossi said in a statement: "Seeing the mountain gorillas in Rwanda was one of the most incredible experiences of our lives. We want everyone to be able to feel what it's like to be there, and with our game Gorillas! by The Ellen Fund you absolutely can.”
