Curious about what technology does with people, not only what it does for them.
I’m studying Interaction Design at ArtCenter College of Design. My practice sits between design research, interactive prototyping, and creative technology.
I’m interested in the moments where new technology becomes difficult, ambiguous, or unfamiliar. Through research and prototyping, I look for ways to make those relationships clearer, more humane, and more useful.
Currently, I’m exploring human-AI interaction, physical computing, and accessibility while developing my research-led design practice.
