Owen Lewis

I’m passionate about the power of emerging technologies and digital media to communicate big ideas, tell compelling stories and help brands elevate experiences.

My experience brings together three threads:

• My engineering experience: I developed my ability to understand and communicate difficult concepts, work effectively in a team, manage multiple deadlines and react to ever evolving design scenarios using an agile approach to problem solving
• My sound design experience: During my most recent Masters in Sound Design I gained a deeper knowledge about the wider field of digital media and its power to convey complex topics
• My programming experience: Building a knowledge of coding across several languages and the ways in which they can be used to support existing design processes

From using game engines for non-linear composition and storytelling, to using machine learning practices to develop algorithmic composition techniques, I am interested in how technology can be used creatively to further our powers of expression and communication. I have a great appetite for learning and am always looking to further my understanding of the world around me, including everything from XR technologies and machine learning to human behaviour and psychology.
