Video Doodles

In college I received a minor in film and digital media. 


Here are some of the short animations and movies I created throughout the minor's course load:

Doodling with Code

Processing is a great tool to create interactive doodles. Here's one I made in Golan Levin's class my senior year:

Doodling with Music

I started playing piano when I was 5 years old and I spent a lot of time throughout middle and high school writing songs. I also attended a music performance high school for a year in addition to my academic school. 


Here is some of my music:

A sonata I wrote as a class assignment at age 17

I never stopped writing and sketching in my journals. I now have around 20 collected throughout my entire life.

Let's Start at the Very Beginning

On my 8th birthday, I was given a birthday gift that influenced me monumentally: my first diary. As an only child, I didn't have anyone my age to talk to around the house. I used my diary as an outlet and wrote in it as if it were my best friend. This is, I believe, where my love for sketching, doodling, dreaming, and writing comes from. 

Here is my very first diary entry:

And here are a few more from the same diary:
