Earliest digital memory

My first experience with digital technology was using a paint program on our family’s Commodore 64, plugged into the TV. I was fascinated by how ideas could come to life on a screen, and that sense of wonder still drives my work today, supporting children, parents, and educators to use technology for connection and creativity.
