Caitlyn “Caity” Croft is a multifaceted technologist, developer, designer, global systems thinker, artist, and musician dedicated to harnessing the power of immersive and deep technologies to enhance human experiences and drive societal progress.
After spending time working in Product development in a Venture Capital incubator, the recent graduate of the Immersive Technology/XR Master’s program from New York University, with studies spanning NYU New York, NYU Berlin, and NYU Shanghai, Caity has seamlessly blended her artistic talents with advanced technological expertise.
Throughout her career, Caity has been committed to improving humanity through immersive technology, gamification, and storytelling at individual, communal, and global levels. As a narrative designer and transmedia experience designer, she has crafted compelling stories and interactive experiences that engage and inspire diverse audiences. Her expertise was showcased in her presentation at The Node Institute’s Manifest:io conference in Berlin, where she demonstrated her innovative use of TouchDesigner for transmedia worldbuilding.
Caity is passionate about the transformative potential of immersive technologies in Spatial Computing, particularly in creating engaging entertainment and educational experiences that "gamify" personal development. Her dedication to continuous learning and skill acquisition is exemplified by her development of “Everon: The Eternal Game,” a conceptual framework that views life as a multi-level game aimed at personal growth and planetary salvation. This framework not only informs her creative projects but also underpins the music she releases with her duo, All Yours.
In addition to her creative pursuits, Caity possesses a robust background in the music industry, having worked as a music producer, singer/songwriter, DJ, video artist, and creative development for film and television. She has performed at shows and festivals worldwide like EDC: Electric Daisy Carnival Los Vegas, Burning Man, and Lightning in a Bottle.
Caity is proficient in a wide array of tools, platforms and skills, including Touch Designer, Adobe Premiere Pro, Photoshop, and Ableton Live. She is trained in full stack JavaScript development, works with a range of AI tooling, and has experience in UX design, transmedia spatial computing prototyping, narrative design, communication, sales, public speaking, partnership facilitation, and leading strategy.
Caity holds a Masters Degree in Interactive Technology Engineering and Media Arts from New York University, a Bachelor’s degree in Narrative Studies, Cinematic Arts, and Photography from the University of Southern California and is currently expanding her expertise in business, marketing, blockchain, and spatial computing. Her unique blend of artistic vision, technological prowess, and strategic thinking positions her as a valuable asset at the intersection of deep technology, immersive technology, and finance. Caity is eager to contribute her diverse skill set to forward-thinking organizations while continuing to explore and innovate as an artist and multimedia extended reality experience designer, and is poised to excel at the nexus of technology and finance while continuing her artistic and multimedia XR endeavors.
Offer
As a multifaceted technologist, developer, designer, global systems thinker, artist, and musician, dedicated to harnessing the power of immersive and deep technologies to enhance human experiences and drive societal progress. My niche is at the intersection of global systems mapping, analysis, and design, communication, and multi-platform / mixed format XR UX / experience design for entertainment, education and beyond that aim to maximize engagement and impact. In my masters program, I dived deeply into spatial experience and spatial cognition, and the principles of gamification, applying principles of games and play to non-gaming contexts, and how to mindfully and gamefully design experiences that encourage participation in meaningful and rewarding ways for users. I’ve also developed my artist music concept around global change and personal development and created easy on-ramps into deeper sociosystemic topics by framing the music and world building experience as an MMORPG Eternal Game of life, inspired by the concepts of The Infinite Game and the Great Game.
NEED
1. A career/role that best utilizes my blend of skills, knowledge, and training. 2. Creative and strategic partners to work with for The Eternal Game and transmedia music concept — thinking through how to gamify solving personal and global challenges and create playable prototypes
Call-to-Action
I would love to sit with strategic and creative partners to explore ways to break down global challenges and personal development challenges into interactive pieces of gameful content and/or experiences that help to imagine a brighter future for individual, communal, and global day-to-day experiences, facilitated by XR / spatial computing technologies, and how we can use these technologies to improve our simulation, design and creation of future society and its multivariate complex systems. On the back end, it’s important to show developers and designers what is now possible and becoming increasingly possible with emerging technologies so talented builders am an start architecting new systems and tools for better brighter futures, and on the front end, it’s about developing small and engaging touch points that make audiences/users realize that they have the power to envision possible futures and participate in numerous low-lift ways to bring these futures to life.
