what I do –

I am an industrial designer and educator with a background in fine arts, art history, and curatorial studies. Working with diverse teams on cross-sector initiatives to access, analyze, and create material information; I build things and tell stories. Past projects range from product to medical design to threat reduction and global security. I live and work in my hometown of New York City.

why I do what I do – 

I’m interested in what​ ​is forgotten and what survives. How​ we​ can better ​understand​ ​and​ ​design for​ ​current​ ​and​ ​future​ ​systems​ ​of production​ ​and​ ​consumption. Design as artifact, information, social practice, and public endeavor. Teaching and collaboration utilize strong design processes, research methodologies, and the need to continually develop fast and slow practices to explore, question, and realize ideas. I do what I do in order to work with and learn from people with different skill sets in different fields.
