joel golombeck

is the recent founder of Rocket Chair Media, a digital publishing company fusing art and interaction with literature and poetry — synergizing love for reading's tradition with the new frontier of multimedia platforms. He served as designer and illustrator of the company's first app, The Metamorphosis for iPad.

Prior to starting Rocket Chair Media, Joel spent time working in traditional publishing. In 2011, he received an MFA in Design and Technology from Parsons. In 2008, he received a BS in Studio Art from NYU. He is author and illustrator to several works of fiction and poetry and also works as a freelance web designer.

His life continues indefinitely as a culmination of stories he has lived, read, heard, seen, written, illustrated and imagined. He will never understand what they all mean. But he will always take profound enjoyment in trying to.
