About me

My Process

I structure my projects using the double diamond design thinking model.

The model iterates through five phases and fluctuates between divergent and convergent activities. I’ve found this model is referred to in many domains which helps multiple players approach projects with similar frames of mind.

I am a firm believer in in thinking by building, failing fast, often, and early in order to reduce errors and costs in the later development phases. With this in mind, I advocate for the two beginning stages of the process Empathy and Define because I believe gaining a proper understanding of issues and user needs is crucial to a project’s future success.

I have always been captivated by the dynamic relationships between person, place, and thing.

My fascination with understanding how people experience media guided me through my undergrad degrees in fine arts and digital humanities, in which I created immersive conceptual installations and studied digital anthropology and web design.

Led by my curiosity and educational goals, I continued growing my understanding of digital user experiences by completing a Master’s degree in human-computer interaction.

In my spare time I love learning about neuroscience, upcycling furniture, and exploring cities.
