About Me
I’m Hyperspek — a physicist, technology leader, NFT collector, and digital artist based in Minneapolis.
My path started in Glasgow, where I grew up between football culture and early computing (ZX Spectrum days). I went on to study Physics at the University of Glasgow, then completed a PhD focused on nanoscale magnetic imaging. That work sat at the edge of science and art, using visual methods to make the invisible visible.
I later spent over a decade in Northern Ireland, growing from engineer to director while building both products and family life. In Minneapolis, I stepped into a VP technology role, helped launch 40+ products, and led teams solving complex physics and engineering challenges.
My shift into web3 began in 2021 through collecting — starting with Cryptopunk #8845, Art Blocks, and early generative works. What began as collecting evolved into building voxel galleries, curating 1,000+ digital artworks, and creating my own series including Punk & Frens, AI Adventures, and Constructs of Consciousness.
Today, my work blends storytelling, AI-assisted motion, collage, and digital culture. I’m focused on creating narrative-driven digital art, expanding my collection, and contributing to the local and global web3 art community.
