Being Good Music
A multi-patented music identification system (currently being monetized) that I co-invented that utilizes AI algorithms to analyze audio data and moods.
My passion for music and technology converged at Being Good Music, where I co-invented a multi-patented AI music identification system that now powers their two flagship apps. This groundbreaking technology leverages advanced algorithms to analyze audio data, enabling precise song identification and, remarkably, even capturing the emotional essence of music.
But my involvement extended beyond the technical core. I spearheaded the UI/UX design for both apps, prioritizing intuitive navigation and user-centered experiences that make music exploration effortless and delightful. My prototype design for the Juiced interface, meticulously crafted to embody the brand's vision, laid the foundation for a seamless and engaging music discovery journey.

Promotional video I produced and recorded for the Being Good website.
Audio I composed to illustrate specific moods and qualities based on research needs.
VIDEO & Audio PRODUCTION
Audio compositions and early prototype videos for specific moods and artists, that I created with a team for when Being Good was developing technology for both video and audio analysis. For videos I have played the role of Assistant Director, Assistant Editor, Animator, and Prop Designer.
About Me
The intersection of art and technology fascinates me, and I’ve always been a curious and avid learner hungry for new knowledge. Early pixel pushing in Photoshop and basic HTML / CSS laid the foundation for my exploration across diverse disciplines: graphic design, stop-motion animation, video production, no-code web development, UI/UX design, audio engineering, and artificial intelligence research. Each project, big or small, has been a stepping stone, solidifying the rich skillset and knowledge base I carry today.
In 2023 I joined the Software Development Bootcamp at Coding Dojo, and learned how to translate my design ideas into functional applications. This combination of creative problem-solving, insatiable curiosity, and diverse perspectives allows me to collaborate meaningfully and spearhead innovative design solutions.
What truly excites me? Crafting experiences and solutions that resonate with users, empower their endeavors and make a real difference.
