I am a strategist, researcher, designer, and educator. For over a decade, I have worked with leadership in nonprofit and for-profit organizations to conduct wide-ranging research, develop creative strategies, and design impactful products. I study how humans experience technologies (from visual art and clothing to microscopes and digital platforms) and how these tools impact how we feel, behave, and think.
What will students be able to take away from your classes?
My mission is to help students be self-reflective, resilient, and creative systems thinkers who can see both the forest and the trees. In my classes, students learn how to look closely at problems from many perspectives, discover interactions and relationships, and design tools rooted in a deep understanding of human experiences and values.
What are your responsibilities at the Keller Center?
I lead collaborative research and design classes, such as “The Looking Lab” and "How to be Undisciplined," that integrate knowledge and methods from the human sciences, natural sciences, arts, and engineering.
What do you appreciate most about the Keller Center?
The Keller Center is a unique institution and community. It connects theory and practice, people from all disciplines and backgrounds, and the worlds inside and outside the university.
