Showcase & Discover Creative Work

I'm an interaction designer, researcher and tech-futurist that likes turning big ideas into engaging, digital and analog experiences. I’m currently co-founder and interaction designer of a sustainable startup at Pratt Design Incubator in Brooklyn, NY. I recently completed 2 years of research at MITs SENSEable City Lab, leading several design projects related to human-computer interfaces placed in spatial and urban contexts.

My work has been featured in numerous exhibitions and in academic and popular press, including: Venice Architecture Biennial, TED, Wired, New York Times, NPR and GOOD. I speak regularly about emerging media trends, appearing at: SXSW, TEDx, AIGA and Wellington Lux.
