i just graduated from stanford engineering--and quit my job to make videos.

this january, while wrapping up my final year of college, i started posting videos showing creative people how to use emerging technology. people started knowing me as cova. and a month ago, i left my job to see what would happen if i gave this my all. hyphen posts will now be dropping every tuesday! stay tuned ~ hyphen is a reader-supported publication.
