Ari Blumberg Portfolio

Digital Artist & Technologist

I strive to bridge the worlds of Art, Technology, and Interactive Design. Currently pursuing a BS in Arts & Entertainment Technologies and a Minor in Business to deepen my understanding of how creativity and functionality work together to shape user-centered experiences.

I have a love for installation artworks that merge design and computation to create immersive audio-visual experiences. My projects range from creating graphics to experimenting with storytelling techniques to building things with my hands.
