about me
a designer with an approximate knowledge of many things
I've spent a lot of time in a lot of different fields, which has made me appreciate the breath of ways people interact with technology. I want to create experiences that are user-friendly, elegant, accessible—and which function without undue reliance on existing technical literacy.
the questions which draw me toward design
How can we make user experiences, which historically have been designed for very specific subset of people, accessible to the wide and wonderful spectrum of people who actually use them?
How can we move toward design that puts people first, not through assuming some generic, standardized audience, but by intentionally celebrating the diversity of the people around us?
​
How can we commit to making our designs accessible to people with different needs from the ground up, rather than as an afterthought?
more personally,
I'm just a huge fangirl. The best thing about being in my 30s is understanding that I shopped at Hot Topic when I was 13, and I will continue to shop at Hot Topic for the rest of my life.

Stuff I enjoy doing when I'm not working:​
-
Being overdressed for any and all occasions
-
Playing video games (and sometimes streaming them)
-
Singing karaoke badly and yet with complete confidence
-
Watching anime and completely overwrought dramas
-
Writing similarly overwrought fiction
-
Making extremely niche game mods
-
Attempting to draw and make pixel art, sometimes for the aforementioned game mods and Twitch channel
also I have three cats
they are giant and ridiculous and whine at all hours of the night
