Welcome to tabreturn.com -- a web portfolio of my work.
I started making things for the Web back in the days of PlayStation 1, grunge music, and dial-up modems. Over time, I evolved from designer to developer, earning degrees in both creative and technical disciplines along the way. Today, my work lives at the intersection of creativity, code, and experimentation -- exploring interactive technology across web, mobile, games, and immersive media.
I currently reside in Wellington, New Zealand Sydney, Australia.
