i am a designer and creative technologist building intentional systems at the intersection of digital infrastructure and human experience. presently, my practice traces the relationship between scalable products and the accessibility of scholarship within higher education—mapping how the weight of embodied experience is translated into the ephemeral architectures of digital space.
i work through a process of rigorous curiosity, viewing design as a primary form of knowledge-making. my practice moves between cultural analysis and making—between the density of research and the shipping of “real things” that people can navigate and live with. i am interested in the narratives that emerge from this translation: how we turn the labor of the academy into interactive hypertexts that invite public participation, dialogue, and a generous kind of discomfort.
rooted in a quiet, methodical approach to the internet’s infrastructures, i build toward systems that prioritize interiority over mere efficiency. i am devoted to the architecture of solidarity and the cultivation of spaces for care—crafting digital artifacts that are not just tools, but sites of collective agency and public-facing inquiry.
the architecture of solidarity. crafting tools that foster collective action and preserve the quiet nuances of shared histories against digital erosion.
intentionality as infrastructure. moving beyond the friction of efficiency toward systems that prioritize the interiority and well-being of those who inhabit them.
legibility of scholarship. translating dense academic labor into interactive hypertexts that invite public participation and poetic inquiry.
a digital and physical scrapbook sourced from historical Indigenous publications, weaving disparate threads of printed activism into a navigable record of sovereignty. the exhibit functions as an interface for ancestral connection, contesting the static nature of the archive through an architecture of living memory.
a living archive exploring cross-community movements. i led the visual framing to map the intersections of history and future-facing advocacy through a lens of collective memory.
technical precision meeting aesthetic clarity. a focus on the "ambient interface"—balancing high-level data functionality with a minimal, intuitive choreography of space.
prototyping tools for person-centered engagement. utilizing co-design methods to re-imagine how social connection functions within institutional frameworks.
My practice is rooted in active witnessing — a methodical immersion that allows me to fully inhabit the nuances of a system before proposing an intervention. I value the duration of understanding, yet I move through the speed of rhythmic, collaborative iterations.
I treat the knowledge of system experts as a primary material, engaging in a collective choreography to map existing infrastructures. This shared labor ensures a swift, precise translation of deep research into artifacts that are technically rigorous, humanly generous, and grounded in the lived realities of those who inhabit them.
