I've called Florida, New York and other places home, but at the moment I live in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Contrary to confounding popular belief, I'm not a designer. I'm a critical observer of social networks, with a professional background in communications.
I began exploring net life and its social and cultural effects in 2006, with my undergraduate thesis, Inside Out: Collaborative Authorship and Narrative Distribution in Public New Media Artworks and Contemporary Technocultural Developments..
I've worked as a contributing editor for The Morning News and an editor in print and web at Miles Media. I have a Humanities B.A. from New College of Florida and at the Interactive Telecommunications Program at NYU for one year.
I currently work at Automattic, makers of the WordPress blogging platform, focusing on user engagement and customer support.
From time to time I use screengrabs and code to relate my experiences online and, in some cases, to point to larger social behaviors that have been influenced by and become connected to our collective digital life.
You can sign my graphic guestbook if you want to say hi, or shoot an email to heather dot rasley at gmail.com.
Thanks for stopping by.
