Hey, I’m Sharm. 👋
I design and build products across emerging platforms, games, and spatial interfaces, with a focus on immersive technology and creative R&D. Over the past decade, I’ve led design for major entertainment and government initiatives. At Deloitte, I work across the full product lifecycle, from early R&D and 3D animation to VR training simulations and launching platform experiences from the ground up. This work has shaped product strategy and helped secure multi-million dollar investments. I’ve also created interactive experiences for Nickelodeon, built design systems for Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign, contributed to a $613K crowdfunding campaign for a Ruth Bader Ginsburg action figure, and supported projects for Walt Disney and federal intelligence agencies. I focus on building what does not exist yet.
Background
I completed my BFA at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, then spent a few years working (and paying off $250K in student loans), before returning to school for the MFADT program at Parsons. Those loans are paid off too. I grew up across the northeast and have lived in a lot of places: Troy NY, Carlisle PA, Gaithersburg MD, Boston MA, Brattleboro VT, Utica NY, Brooklyn (twice — Clinton Hill the first time, Park Slope the second), Alexandria VA, and now Maryland.

Outside of work I'm at the gym debugging my squat form, compositing frames for my next animated short, building an app nobody asked for, or starting a new side quest.
