Kellyn Dassler
Creative Technologist || Artist || Software Developer
I am a new media and interactive installation artist blending the physical and digital and blurring boundaries between artist and viewer.
Drawing upon my background in computer science, poetry and fiction writing, dedication to ethical artificial intelligence practices, and love for art, I experiment with poetry, sculpture, projection mapping, machine learning libraries, and spatial and immersive technologies to explore themes of digital and physical translations, repurposing digital artifacts, physical embodiment, intersectional feminism, and unexpected joy or discomfort. Recently, I created interactive digital sculptures and poetic projection installations for mondegreen's Charity Art Event and After City Limits Silent Disco, frog design's PoP SXSW Party, and experimented at MoHA's CATS+ showcase. Currently, I am working on designing kinetic data sculptures and an interactive short film, in addition to creating tech workshops for artists. I'm also available for custom projection mapping installations or development work.
By day, I'm an senior creative technologist focused on building practices, strategy, and hands-on AI work at the intersection of creativity and technology. Currently at Praytell as the agency's first creative technologist hire, I lead AI strategy and prototyping across client accounts—moving fast from brief to working demo—while shaping how the organization thinks about and integrates AI. Across agencies, startups, and enterprise, I've built and shipped generative AI products, interactive experiences, and creative technology systems, with a particular love for immersive tech, extended reality (I even built a hologram once), applied AI, and the full stack.
In my free time, I love to rock climb, dance, cook, and volunteer with women in STEM organizations. Let's talk or build something together!
