Carrie Kengle (CK)

Hello there! I'm a software and hardware engineer. I knew it was my passion from the moment I wrote my first piece of code. I've worked as a lead developer for agencies, including Sapient, JWT, and R/GA in New York, London, and Tokyo. As technical director at Steady, I began exploring new ways to interact with machines beyond the standard web and mobile interfaces. These experiments led me to incorporate exciting new technologies, such as gesture recognition and sensor-based interactions, into installations for high-profile clients worldwide. In 2016, I co-founded Area of Effect. I have been credited for my work at institutions such as MoMA and the Gagosian in New York. I'm always eager to delve into the possibilities of human-computer interaction, and I teach graduate courses at SVA on connected devices, computer vision, and robotics.

There have been awards along the way if you are into that sort of thing — at Cannes, SXSW, One Show Interactive, Clio, and the London International Awards.

CK.LAND

In the realm of technology and innovation, some might say I occasionally wander into 'CK Land'. It's a place where boundless optimism meets deep problem-solving, where the brighter side of technology shines, and intricate challenges are unwrapped layer by layer. While the term started as a light-hearted jest, I've adopted it as a testament to my unyielding belief in the potential of technology for good and my dedication to diving deep into its tough problems. Because, truly, 'CK Land' is where possibilities become realities.
