Sarah, a kaleidoscope of some sort, but in terms more practical…

researcher, artist, and visionary for the direction of human society and culture in an evolving technological media landscape. Curious in the ritualized aspect of societal realms as a fundamental part of social reality. In a rapidly digitizing and virtualizing society, concerns involve the amnesia & nostalgia of physical media and the contortion/ appropriation of historical spheres of culture and thought. Values in cultivating awareness and knowledge in such domains by studying the origins and effects of such constructs. Keen analyst in ecosystem ecology with respect to human society and the environment (social niche construction and the biosphere) — focusing on the magnitude of media/ technological systems from a variety of angles: eg, the shaping of individual human behavior and belief, the transformation of socio-economic landscapes, and a more holistic stance on planetary health.

Education in the synthesis of media, culture and communication in concurrence to multi-media design *employing the use of current-day digital technologies and communication mediums for graphic, sound, audio-visual, and user-interface systems. With involvement in and fabrication of the digital world, driven to create in aspiration of fostering environments & attitudes of sensibility towards sustainable development and human rights.

Front-end developer experienced with programming and web-development languages HTML, CSS, and Javascript for user-interaction based projects. Proficient in back-end development and data analytics using Python and Java. Strong background and practice in Adobe Design softwares such as In Design, Photoshop, Lightroom, Illustrator, and Premiere Pro for graphic/ audio-visual design. Use of Figma and ProtoPie for ideation and development of interactive mobile and web prototypes. Interested in sound design and experimenting with stimulative & transcendent spatial environments using recording techniques and mixing and mastering softwares, eg: REAPER.

Apart from the technicalities of digital softwares and workspaces, Sarah enjoys her time with simpler practices. As a classically trained cellist, analog film photographer, and athlete, the teachings of time with patience and diligence had become an integral pillar for a multitude of processes. The tradition of physically written language and calligraphy require a manner of sensibility, focus, and technique that is felt to be lost in the use of rapid processing digital software interfaces. For Sarah, the process, in essence, is valued over the product: for the process becomes the product, and such product can only be perpetuated with an intent as honest as the actions and thought bore through the process in itself. In every act, there is something to learn, and in every repetition, there is something farther to reach, yet each stroke tells a story that is complete in its mere existence. To evolve is to witness such pattern with an intent to express or interpret more vividly what lies beneath the surface. Delicacies are found in the details— under the pressure of the bristles of the brush, in the swift motion of the wrist, and one with the suggestive force of the heart.
