"Stories are at the heart of human culture and we often use images and video to communicate ideas, information, our feelings, and emotions to one another through visual means. I believe that tools that can facilitate creation of this kind of media can be really beneficial to human culture. The more we can express ourselves and tell our stories to other people, I think the better off we'll be."
"Fundamentally, I value the idea of making it easier for people to express themselves. That is at the core of almost everything we do in my research group. I've been interested in visual communication and how we make visual art for a long time."
"I've worked with computers since elementary school. When I first learned about computer graphics as an undergraduate at Stanford, I got very interested in how to use a computer to make visuals, and that was the gateway into the work I'm doing now. I'm focused on this because we communicate lots of things through visual and audio content. This is how we tell stories."
"The primary intended application for the tools we are building is to facilitate the creation of visual stories. Tools for image and video manipulation can aid people of a diverse range of backgrounds to effectively convey their narratives and expressions."
