Hi, I’m Atarius

I enjoy creating experiences in any capacity that I can. I specialize in experience design, artistic direction, and video editing. With a technical background in development and data analysis, I use the how in the experience we build to inform and guide the why behind them.

Oh, and I'm the Artistic Director of ALA Dance.

I’m a practitioner of craft and creativity with a passion for emerging technology, performing arts, and community development. My work, whether it be in design, data, or dance, is shaped by the belief that what we create should serve, should transform, and should uplift. I seek not just to solve problems but to reimagine systems, to build with a mindfulness that honors those who came before me and those who will come after.
