Maggie is passionate about the intersection of technology, art, storytelling, futurism, and community.

She has been in tech since 1988 and has been a freelance web developer since 1995. She even co-managed media relations for Burning Man in 1996.

She has spent decades co-conceiving and executing immersive events, including productions at SXSW and beyond. In the fields of futures and education, she researched and co-developed interactive educational kiosks and curriculum for a technology and media master’s program in Norway. She also co-developed and produced two experiential learning-centered events, called STEAM3: The Future of Education, at the University of Texas, Austin (2014), and Georgia State University (2015).

She also serves as Projects and Events Coordinator for UNM-Taos Film and Digital Media Arts, where she supports initiatives that encourage student enrollment and expand creative opportunities for emerging artists. She’s the co-founder (along with Hunter Tripp), and director of OTaosuCon, Taos’ first pop culture festival—encouraging career pathways for youth creators via the art and fandom they love.

A seasoned speaker, Maggie has presented on education, futurism, and the maker/gig economy across venues from Austin to London. Her work explores how technology and creativity can build community, empower learners, and support mission-driven change.
