Hi!

I'm a design researcher, product designer and PhD student in Digital Media, currently at Georgia Tech. Before academia, I worked as a UX Lead at Fantasy, and before that, at Code and Theory. I also studied Digital Arts and New Media at UC Santa Cruz, where I created narrative games, hypertext poems, and interactive theater performances.

My current PhD work is at the intersection of Queer Human Computer Interaction (HCI), queer theory, critical archives, and tangible embodied interaction design. I focus on how we might queer technology design through attention to historicism and affective, embodied experiences. 

Hi!

I'm an experience designer, currently working as a UX lead at Fantasy, and before that, Code and Theory. In my work, I focus on how user research, design workshops, and solid product strategy can bring a vision to life. 

I value cross-disciplinary collaboration, and I'm committed to an equitable design philosophy, where good solutions are built out of a shared vision rather than handed from on high. 

I am deeply interested in the potential for great design to positively impact our world, while still training a critical eye towards the structural underpinnings that may influence it.

Early work

Before getting into digital design, I built arduino-powered sculptures, including a game-controller hand and "deactivated robots" with embedded electronic displays.

Early work

Arduino powered sculptures, metalworking, silicone casting, a game controller hand, and an interactive fiction piece about translation and family.
