Creator

When I create projects, I look for the space where learning and narrative intersect. I believe our art should reflect our society, illuminate what’s working and what’s not working, and interpret our shared efforts to make the world a better place. I prefer to work in informal spaces that develop what Carol Dweck defines as a “growth mindset” (Dweck, 2006). When I offer this quality in the projects I make, I’m offering an alternative process for understanding how our world works and what makes us better humans.

Fanalytica, a fan insights dashboard

Picture
...using the Fanalytica dashboard, media creators, brand / digital strategists, and researchers can gain insight into how a given media property might appeal to and retain fans, how we might help facilitate the shift by which a fan goes from merely being entertained to being more deeply invested, and how it could be possible to inspire fans to extend their interest from a core passion into other, related materials and communities.
