I lead the Adobe Creative Technologies Lab, which I founded when I joined Adobe Systems<http://www.adobe.com/> in 2005. I am also an Affiliate Professor in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington<http://www.washington.edu/>, where I have been on the faculty<http://www.cs.washington.edu/people/faculty/> since 1992.

From 1983-87, I worked at Lucasfilm<http://www.lucasarts.com/> and Pixar<http://www.pixar.com/>, where I contributed computer animation for the Academy Award-winning short film, "Tin Toy," and the feature-length film, Young Sherlock Holmes.

In 1996, I co-founded two companies, where I served as Chief Scientist: Inklination<http://inklination.com/> and Numinous Technologies<http://numinous.com/>. When the latter was acquired by Microsoft<http://www.microsoft.com/> in 1999, I worked as a Senior Researcher at Microsoft Research<http://www.research.microsoft.com/> until 2005, while remaining on the UW faculty. Over the years, I have also worked as an intern or consultant at a number of production studios and research labs, including Sogitec Audiovisuel<http://www.sogitec.com/> in (Paris), DEC Systems Research Center, DEC Paris Research Lab, Aldus (now part of Adobe<http://www.adobe.com/>), Xerox PARC<http://www.parc.xerox.com/>, and Broderbund<http://www.broderbund.com/>.
