Hey, I’m Sharm. 👋
I design and build products across games, emerging platforms, and spatial interfaces, with a focus on creative R&D and the kind of work that doesn't have a template. Over the past decade I've led design for major entertainment and government initiatives. At Deloitte, I work across the full product lifecycle: early R&D, 3D animation, VR training simulations, and launching platform experiences from the ground up, work that has shaped product strategy and helped secure multi-million dollar investments.
I've also built interactive experiences for Nickelodeon, designed systems for Joe Biden's 2020 presidential campaign, contributed to a $613K crowdfunding campaign for a Ruth Bader Ginsburg action figure, and supported projects for Walt Disney and federal intelligence agencies.
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 for the MFADT program at Parsons. Those 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 NY (Twice), 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 that nobody asked for, or starting a new side quest.
