Project Leads

Ben Fry and Casey Reas started Processing in Spring 2001 and obsessively worked on it for over twenty years. In 2012, they established the Processing Foundation along with Dan Shiffman, who formally joined as the third project lead. In August 2022, Raphaël de Courville joined full-time as Processing Community Lead, under Casey Reas’ mentorship. In 2023, Ben, Casey, and Dan officially stepped down from their active roles as project leads, marking the beginning of a new era for Processing under the stewardship of the Processing Foundation.
