I am an artist, designer, educator, and PhD student at NYU Steinhardt studying Educational Communication and Technology. My research interests are very interdisciplinary, living at the intersection of art, design, computing, education, psychology, and critical studies. I’m curious about the cognitive and affective dimensions of creative computing tools, praxes, and artifacts, and what implications these dimensions have on the design of computing learning experiences and the construction of technological selves and cultures. I am currently working on the design and study of learning materials for artistic physical computing.
I aim to take a design-based and participatory approach to my work, co-creating research projects and tools with community members and studying how identity and creative practice are affected by using them.
My background is in Interdisciplinary Art & Media Studies and Human-Computer Interaction. Beyond my studies at NYU, I work as an educator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
