Project Quintessence
Role: Co-Creator, Project Lead (2018-2021)
Quintessence is a corpus exploration framework trained on the Early English Books Online - Text Creation Partnership (EEBO-TCP) archive. Quintessence incorporates hundreds of small machine learning and statistical models with dynamic visualizations to facilitate open-ended archival exploration and research. With Quintessence, you can track semantic shifts in either individual words or thematic topics across different regions, among different authors, and over decades or centuries.
Digital Game Design
My independent design portfolio showcases some of my conceptual and technical work in digital game design. In this work, I combine mechanics from analog games (such as randomizers modeled on shuffling playing cards or grids and algorithms from strategy games) with narrative techniques to reflect on the role of technicity in mediating our experience of basic concepts like chance and agency.
VR Game Design
My virtual reality design projects play with haptic input and spatial and textual design elements to prompt reflection on concepts like immersion and individuation in gaming.
