When I graduated in 2003, I moved out here to California and worked with the San Jose Museum of Art before getting a job with Linden Labs. I learned a lot from San Jose Art Museum. I'm working on a project (Second Life) that is really pushing the boundaries on what is possible and I have a direct role in what happens.
