Areas of Work
Immersive Story Production
Partnering with communities to develop online experiences on CyArk’s Tapestry platform, has been a great way to elevate underrepresented histories and give communities a voice in how their heritage is presented. This work involves partnering with communities online and in person to identify the key messages, audience, and goals for the experiences. We then work to collect the 3D data, audio, and video content needed to create engaging, immersive content. Explore some of the latest experiences today.
3D Documentation for Prosecuting Intentional Destruction of Cultural Heritage
For my practicum at American University I integrated insights from meetings with legal and cultural heritage professionals in Ukraine to develop a guidebook for Ukrainian prosecutors. This project aimed to define best practices for using 3D recording technologies in documenting war crimes and cultural heritage destruction, highlighting their potential to aid evidence collection and analysis with unprecedented detail and accuracy. As part of the project I processed a dataset from a war-damaged archaeological site to demonstrate how 3D data can quickly make complex scenes more understandable and quantifiable in prosecutions. This work underscores the vital role of emerging 3D technologies in the future of legal evidence collection and presentation.
Digital Documentation Workshops
I have developed and delivered online and in-person training programs in over 15 countries, focusing on how 3D documentation can be used to support cultural preservation and digital storytelling. For these projects, I not only get to share some of the ways CyArk uses technology but also learn from local communities and collaboratively design creative solutions that can assist ongoing conservation efforts.
Place Consulting
Helping NGOs and museums respectfully engage with communities around historic places and cultural landscapes. Over the past decade, I have worked internationally, cultivating a robust network of cultural advisors and experts. This network provides invaluable guidance and direction for international development projects and exhibitions.
