I design and research systems that grow curiosity, connection, and capability.
My work explores how technologies influence human experience — from AI learning systems and collaborative tools to embodied interfaces and interactive environments. I combine design, prototyping, and behavioral research, building systems that help people develop new capabilities, build deeper connections, and engage meaningfully with complex technologies.
I recently completed my PhD at the MIT Media Lab, where I designed and built AI-integrated systems and studied their effects on human behavior and connection. This work builds on my experience as a designer and developer, building interactive installations and creative technology systems. I have a deep love for creating physical and digital systems that invite exploration and connection.
