RESIDENT RESEARCHER

Lucia Gomez doesn’t really know what she’s doing but she’s happy to be here!

She calls herself a Creative Technologist? and Web Developer??? focusing on the intersection of digital and physical interactive experiences. Her work aims to create magical moments of delight through playful interactions powered by emerging technology. Her past projects include a watercolor plotter that paints sign language, a holographic crystal ball, and several Jell-O installations… She maybe needs to calm down about the Jell-O. 

Prior to attending ITP, Lucia was a Senior Software Engineer at Meta working on UI for AR glasses. She learned to code when she was 10 years old and immediately went to build interactive Star Trek fanfiction. Nothing she’s made since will ever compete with that. Lucia enjoys getting others excited about programming through hands-on workshops and demos.

Lucia holds a Master’s from NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) and a B.A. in Computer Science and Linguistics from Cornell University. Her work has previously been exhibited at CultureHub’s Re-Fest and presented at WordHack in Brooklyn.
