heathernew09 - Overview

Hi, I'm Heather.

Creative Technologist in Chicago 🏙️

I build interactive experiences that blend design, code, and technology.

With 20+ years of making things for the web, I operate at the intersection of visual design and technical execution. From Geocities to large-scale interactive airport exhibits, I use code as a means to an end: creating highly engaging digital moments.


🚀 Highlights

  • Founding Member of the AI Garage: Leading the conversation on creative AI integration and workflow.
  • The "Bridge": I speak both "Designer" and "Developer" fluently, translating complex creative visions into technical reality.
  • Leadership: 10+ years of collective management experience.
