Hi, I’m Max

I am a multimedia designer and creative technologist. I like working in music, education, and interactive media, but I’m interested in almost everything and I’ll take any opportunity to learn something new.

I also teach game design and creative coding at the Pratt Center for Art, Design, and Community Engagement K-12 and music production with Building Beats.

I thrive on collaboration, and I love making other people’s work look and sound cool in ways they might not have realized were possible.

You can email me, or reach out on Instagram or LinkedIn if that’s more your thing.
