I'm interested in building products that critically question technology and who its accessible to. I am always striving to build mindfully for underrepresented groups and to ultimately combine design, technology, and advocacy to tackle important and challenging social problems.
As an artist, I have a huge passion for visual craft and how to creatively express compelling stories.
I received my BS in Industrial Design from Georgia Tech in August 2021. I'm currently doing my Master's in Industrial Design and working in research around public health misinformation, political news consumption, and civic engagement!
Things I Care About
I'm passionate about social equity advocacy, public interest technology, and voting access. Outside of my design work, you can find me volunteering at the ACLU of Georgia, where I currently work as LEAD Volunteer, and where I was a previous Voting Access intern. In my free time, I recently started to volunteer at my local county as a poll worker during elections.
I spent a gap semester in 2020 in the midst of the pandemic as a Civic Digital Fellow at the NIH where I got to learn about Civic Tech and help the NIH with their STRIDES initiative.
Me and all the other amazing CDF Fellows from 2020. :,)
Other Things I Do
You can find me researching at the Technologies + International Development Lab under Dr. Michael Best, where I do work in investigating health misinformation and digital outreach strategies amongst Black and Latinx communities in GA.
I previously led my school's Hack4Impact design team, where we build web apps for non-profit clients. Since then, I have led 2 cohorts of our Design Bootcamp, where we teach students the basics of digital product design and help them put together a case study for their portfolio.
Outside My Work
I love going to museums and drawing outside of work.
I also love watching documentaries and learning about queer history. :^)
