Researcher, visual designer, and creative strategist working at the intersection of learning, media, and design
Design is how I work with the world, as it is, to realize what it could be.
Selected Work

After more than a decade leading research and design initiatives in university settings, I am expanding my work into creative media, experience design, and visual storytelling.
