Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolVera Van De Seyp is a creative coder and research-oriented designer with 11 years of experience building experimental web projects, interactive installations, and generative systems. Based in Boston and currently a Research Assistant at MIT while running her independent studio, she blends front-end engineering with visual design to produce work ranging from live data-scraping installations to perpetually morphing typefaces and IoT generators that self-document via social media. Her background spans academic research (Media Technology, Cum Laude) and art-school training in graphic and audiovisual communication, equipping her to translate critical concepts into playful, rule-based artifacts. She has taught at prominent art schools, mentoring students at the intersection of code and craft, and previously led design teams in studio environments. Notably, her practice often surfaces as browser extensions, national flag generators, and interface experiments that make infrastructural or political systems legible through generative visuals. This combination of rigorous research training and a taste for provocation lets her deploy code as a material for both inquiry and public-facing design.
