It’s always a great experience when you get to hear a customer proudly showcase the work you have done for them. True partnership comes when everyone brings their ideas and expertise to the table and decides to build excellence together. Today, I’m happy to share with you a demo video recorded with Detroit Institute of Arts and my team showcasing some of the key features of 3 of the apps we’ve recently built for them: Touchless Digital Response Stations, Queue Management App, and Microsoft 365 Adoption roadmap.

I’m very excited and proud to share the latest addition to our product line at Red Level, exclusively for the museum community. Created by my team in partnership with Detroit Institute of Arts.
We’ve all been fascinated by the worlds of possibility presented in sci-fi stories. Our heroes searching through data for answers to save the day with a wave of their hand.
The dreams of science fiction are becoming reality today. With the futuristic gesture control interface of Red Level’s Motia, the future is now at a museum near you.
Motia was created by a partnership between Red Level’s expert team of technologists and museum professionals. The cutting-edge spatial computing revolutionizes museum visitor’s experiences. Allowing visitors to look deeper than ever before and interact with a museum’s collection like never before.
Red Level’s Motia system is effortless to implement. A simple video camera captures natural hand movements and Motia’s sophisticated computer vision models translate the gestures and motion to unlock your exhibitions and artifacts – allowing vistors to browse the collection, and access additional educational and historical content from your curators.
Motia is the latest innovation from Red Level designed for the museum community – including the Clearpass queuing app to help museums to safely open during the pandemic and Curia collaborative exhibition planning app helping curators design engaging exhibits.

Speaker: Karina Myers, Director of App Dev and Collaboration
As organizations prepared to rollout their Q1 strategy in 2020, the year had other plans.
Digital transformation in pandemic times was one for the books. The countless hours spent by organizations in rolling out a COVID response strategy that ensures their workforce to be able to safely continue working in pandemic and post-pandemic times were paramount and worth of recognition.
Even with the difficulties social distancing and stay at home orders presented, creativity and ingenuity and the adoption of technology solutions took precedence above anything else as organizations quickly pivot and re-prioritized their technology strategies for the year.
Discussing technology initiatives with IT professionals is a normal expectation I have as a technology strategist, but what happens when an organization does not count with the resources to rollout an entire IT response plan in less than a week? Many of the conversations I had in 2020 were not only with IT professionals but also with HR professionals, accountants, lawyers, marketing – business stakeholders working together and as fast as possible to roll out technology they didn’t anticipate prioritizing this soon.
In a world where remote connectivity, and contactless and cashless solutions became paramount, it was of the most importance for organizations to ensure they had the appropriate technology support and established partnership to drive these initiatives into reality across their organization.
If anything last year have showed us when it comes to technology, is that taking a holistic approach is paramount to ensure business longevity.
COVID-19 pandemic expedited and solidified the need of providing reliable and secure cloud solutions for people to perform their work, collaboration, study, entertainment, shopping, financial transactions, and business operations.
Microsoft’s Cloud remarkable success in comparison to other tech giants in 2020 is no coincidence. In the last decade, Microsoft has been releasing a coveted array of solutions that when working together empower organizations to build a solid foundation that can scale with their business.
But, where do we begin?
This is a common conversation I encounter when talking to organization stakeholders and business owners. We know what is needed, but how do we start? How do I bring my workforce on board? How can I choose the tools I need? How can I prioritize?
I’ll be covering this and more in future articles. In the meantime, I’m curious to learn about your digital transformation in 2020. What were the most common struggles and how was your plan for the year impacted by the pandemic and stay at home orders?
After a very busy day at work today, I received an email from a friend letting me know I had been featured in MLive today for my participation on the #ILookLikeAnEngineer campaign here in Michigan.
I grew up with parents who told me I could be anything I wanted to be. So I became an Information Systems Engineer. One out of two women in my graduation ceremony. College Board member, representing the body of Information System Engineering students. Valedictorian.
Fast forward to the present, I’m a UX/UI Consultant who loves building web applications and collaborating with talented professionals.
Being a female engineer, I’ve always been a minority and I’ve heard my share of discouraging comments from some people in my field throughout the years, just like most of women in the field. But I’ve also met so many wonderful, talented people in the process who inspired me to move forward and be good at what I do.
This fall, I’m happy to announce that I’ll be co-teaching at the Girls Who Code seminar offered here in Grand Rapids, Michigan to young middle and high school girl students who are interested in computers, programming, and technology in general. I’m very excited to be able to help and encourage young girls into the tech field. Creating a balance in the tech field is only going to make us all stronger. Male and female engineers collaborating with each other and building wonderful things together.
We all have something to offer, let’s put our minds together and build awesome stuff, in my case, web applications.
