I’m a mixed-methods design researcher and strategist with a background in cognitive science and 5 years of research experience across academia, public health, IT, cloud computing, aerospace, augmented reality, and social media. I’m drawn to complex, systemic problems and design solutions with strongly value-sensitive, ethical foundations. I view my role as a researcher and UX strategist as foremost to strive to make those solutions equitable, accessible, and functional.
