I'm a technical producer with 17 years experience making websites. I've sat in with bands in San Francisco playing harmonica, guitar, and flute since 1990. Co-produced a public access tv show, Haight-Free TV which ran once a month for 3 years. Working on SRIplanner.com, a website for people who are new to socially responsible investing (SRI), check it out!

My final project for my masters at UCBerkeley School of Information was entitled "The Language of Creativity" (a draft can be found below, I've had drive crashes, yikes!)
This is an hour-long ethnographic video of interviews with 6 web professionals (programmers, designers and technical producers) who talk about their creative practice in making some websites we use every day. Listen to the language they use, especially for the metaphors!!! I plan to create a page with profiles of the people with full credits. Music by John Coltrane.
  • CNet - one of the first tech news sites on the web
  • SixApart - a blogging infrastructure site
  • Archive.org - THE Internet Archive
  • Dabble - a video search site (currently under redesign)
  • Fray - originally a site for story tellers, now publishing stories
I produced an award-winning video with our team at Garage Cinema Research, a research group founded by Marc Davis. We won "Best Video Demonstration" ACM Multimedia 2005 (I was Producer, Assistant Director, and actor) for MMM2: Mobile Media Metadata for Media Sharing.

I have produced five of the first videos for the Ashoka-Berkeley Social Entrepreneurship Digital Library Project
