Curious by nature, I view design as a means of exploring and understanding the world around me. As a designer and educatior I relish in conceptual thought, particularly within the academic classroom. Currently, I am focused on exploring innovative methodologies that expand the boundaries of visual communication design and developing my own design pedagogies. This includes leveraging algorithmic design and creative coding to create multi-sensory data experiences that enhance emotional engagement and accessibility.
