I’m an interaction designer and creative strategist, focusing on both screen-based and physical digital environments. My interests lie in the exploration of interaction on various levels: how people interact with each other, how people interact with things, and how things can help facilitate interaction among people.

I love the internet of people and things.

Previously, I developed front-end user interfaces for websites and applications while working for Interbrand, a global branding consultancy. My work on the Best Global Brands website has earned an Official Webby honoree nomination and a Silver Award at W3 Awards. I’ve worked on creative coding projects for Local Projects and Ralph Applebaum Associates, both museum exhibition design firms. As a grad student, I applied user behavior research to design a hypothetical system for regulating mental energy through the use of music; Conducted observational exercises, focus groups, and site and tenant research for designing a permanent interactive installation for a residential building; Designed user testing questionnaires and conduct tests in person for web projects Define personas for a non-profit, online educational platform for women in Haiti.

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Linguistics and Languages from New York University and Master’s at NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program at Tisch.
