About


 

I create conceptual physical installations that explore global politics, culture, gender and technology.



I predominantly work with electronics, code and fabrication. I am passionate about equity, workers/ human rights and social change. 

In my free time, I explore ways to collaborate and build communities to create a more empathetic future together. Together with my friend Angie, I co-founded a community-driven, mutual-aid student organization called Frugalicious Mamas. Our goal is to make sustainability and food accessible for our school and the broader NYC.

My friend Julia and I also run a YouTube channel, where we post open-sourced hardware tutorials. We hope to increase female representation in this industry, and make hardware accessible!

I graduated from Parsons School of Design with a BFA in Design and Technology.
