Making: Design & Prototyping

It’s through design that we can unlock experiences that don’t yet exist. My design work builds on the existing patterns and behaviors (and data!) that enable technology to help people live fuller lives.

Listening: Research & Evaluation

The starting point of any product or service is listening to those who are most impacted. Using mixed methods and both qualitative and quantitative data, my research strives to uncover the characteristics of a plausible, probable, possible, and preferred futures.

Futuring: Experimentation

Curiosity and experimentation are key components to understanding how we can know what futures we can and should create. In these experimental works I play with unfamiliar materials, abstractions, and experiences in order to surface discussion of what it means to live with multiple forms of intelligence: that from our bodies, our planet, and our technology.
