Miriam Verburg

Bringing 8 years experience as a developer and project manager in new media, Miriam works with clients to analyze, define and implement their needs. A computer geek from way back, she has a passion for interactive media, in particular social tools, and loves learning how children and youth use technology to challenge themselves, do creative projects, and have loads of fun.

Miriam is a recent arrival from Montreal, where she was director of a youth media program at Atwater Library and Computer Centre, Canada’s oldest lending library. While in Montreal she completed her BFA and MA in Media Studies at Concordia University, graduating in 2009. Her thesis work focused on digital literacy and popular education in community settings.

When not in front of a glowing screen Miriam likes to go for walks with her dog Lola, buy really old stereos at rummage sales, and practice her stand-up routine.
