(NON)PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

2004-Present  While working for Syflex, getting to know how to simulate cloth, developing a lean lifestyle devoted to recycling and inspired by the concept of self-sustainability, cooking my own food, gardening, sewing, building furniture and putting together a site to project my work in digital textiles, plus the work of other creative souls I happen to know (yes... this very site).

2002-2004  Shared a place with and worked full-time on Summer Breeze (NYC). Learned more than I ever wanted about Alias Maya, and started to handle UVs and shading networks.

2001-2002  While working with Summer Breeze, experienced the painful burst of the bubble, turned homeless by choice, traveled the West Coast, did my first SIGGRAPH, made it to Burning Man, stayed in other people homes (Tel Aviv, London, NYC and Vermont). Ran a personal blog, and continued to take pictures while on the road (those will be uploaded one day, as a special project).

1998-2001  While turning partner and general manager of "Salley", bought the domain "PrincessZero.com", and started a blog-like site. The original site was lost when the hosting company folded without warning. The notes are yet to be re-loaded.

1996-1998  While working as a new media recruiter at Silicon Alley Connections (Salley), experienced the beautiful internet bubble from the very center, developed skills in Adobe Illustrator, making various graphic materials for the company and personal projects.

1995-1996  While at Pixel Multimedia, got the hang of Photoshop, started to practice Tai Chi, bought the domain name "myview.com", got all the HTML tags available at the time, and and put together a personal portfolio site. With the additional aid of smart business cards and an actual pair of blue glasses, relocated to NYC.

1992-1994  While at the graphic design department in Bezalel, created hats and one-off pieces of clothing at the Jewelry department. During the summer breaks, hand-dyed silk, and knitted jewelry.
