Who am I?
Part Artist,
Part Engineer
It started with art. Then came Information Technology, where I found myself deep in AI projects and fell in love with building things. But something was missing, so I stepped away from tech entirely to pursue an MFA in Fine Arts. That's where design found me.
What began as a surprise turned into a conviction: why choose between the two? Technology and visual design weren't opposites, they were always meant to work together. That's what brought me to HCI at Penn State.
Now I'm focused on what's next, integrating AI into design practice, not just as a tool but as a collaborator. That thread runs through everything I make.
