John Namu Choi - Data Wizard
John has an uncanny ability to morph numbers into beautiful art using his expertise in processing and code. He uses them to create trippy projections and artworks that weave seamlessly into his narrative ideas. He is a Data Artist / Data Analyst who tells stories by interpreting data in many different ways. He delights in unearthing key features regularly hidden in datasets, but which unlock stories that haven’t yet been told. He studied urban planning and Landscape Architecture and has Master’s degree from the Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) at New York University, and his current day job is at Samsung Electronics as an UX Researcher. |
Tanisha Vernekar - Idea Alchemist
Tanisha likes to juggle between various roles and as a self proclaimed Idea Alchemist at DeX, she conjures and sketches ideas with John and then they zealously try to bring them to life. Her day job as a Designer for Microsoft keeps her engaged in order to bring to life products and features used by million users. She has a really eclectic playlist with everything ranging from Alt-J to Nujabes but always ends up singing 90’s tracks at a karaoke bar or while busking. During her free time, she likes making things like chai, zines and ukuleles. |
