About Brandon

I am an interdisciplinary artist, researcher, and educator based in Elkins, West Virginia. I am currently an Assistant Professor of Art at Davis & Elkins College and hold a PhD in Human-Centered Computing from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), as well as an MFA in Intermedia and Digital Arts.

My creative practice spans interactive installation, digital media, sound, and experimental technologies, exploring the relationships between memory, embodiment, philosophy, and human experience. My recent research investigates how tangible, spatial, and multisensory systems can foster reflection and new ways of engaging with knowledge.

Drawing on my background in art, psychology, philosophy, and education, I approach creative practice as a means of inquiry, experimentation, and discovery. I am particularly interested in work that bridges artistic expression, emerging technologies, and contemplative experience.
